    Grading and Homework

     

    Welcome

    -          I would like to welcome you and your student to the 2024-2025 school year. This will be a busy and exciting year for your student as they begin their secondary education.

    I am looking forward to a productive and rewarding year for your 7th and 8th grade students.

     

    Philosophy of Grading

    -          Students will be graded using a point value system.

    -          A notebook containing notes, handouts, chapter questions, and  recipes should be kept and brought to class daily.  Periodic notebook checks will be held and are worth 10 points.

    -          Tests will be announced. Each test will be assigned a point value.

    -          Homework will be checked.  Each homework assignment will be worth 5 points.

    -          Students will be given a grade based on their class work and projects. Each project will be assigned a point value.  A student’s participation and effort can help to influence their grade.

     

    Homework

    -          Homework is utilized for reinforcement and enrichment of content.

    -          Homework may be given in the form of study sheets, questions from the text, or worksheets.

    -          Any homework given will be checked by the teacher.

    -          The student is responsible to ask the teacher for worked missed during an absence. A zero will be recorded for assignments not turned in.  If a student is absent from school, the student will have the same number of days they were absent to make up the work.
