Grading:

Your grade will be determined by dividing the points you earned throughout the marking period by the total points possible.  Check Power School frequently to monitor your progress.  The following formal and informal assessments will be used to calculate your grade: quizzes, tests, projects, online assignments (Go Math and Study Island), weekly assignments and homework.  Bonus opportunities will be available each quarter.

• Quizzes will be given after every 2-3 lessons.
• Tests will be given at the end of each unit.
• Projects and online assignments will be assigned throughout each unit.
• Weekly Assignments will be assigned each Monday or Tuesday and are due on Friday – No exceptions.  Assignments may count as a homework grade, a quiz grade (quarter average) or bonus.
• Homework is given as needed.  Expect homework once or twice a week.  Each homework assignment is graded on completion and is worth 3 points.  You MUST show your work to receive full credit. LATE homework will NOT be accepted.

Missing Class:

If you are absent from school or not in class, you are still responsible for the work you missed.  You have five school days from the day you return to school to complete any missed work.
