Quarter Grades
will be figured according to the following: Homework =
40% Tests = 40% Quizzes = 20%
Semester
Grades will be figured according to the following:
Pre-Algebra and Math Lab Classes
1st Semester = 1st quarter
grade (50%) +
2nd quarter grade (50%)
2nd Semester = 3rd quarter grade (50%) +
4th quarter grade (50%)
Algebra 1
Classes
1st
Semester = 1st quarter grade (40%) + 2nd
quarter grade (40%) + semester final (20%)
2nd
Semester = 3rd quarter grade (40%) + 4th
quarter grade (40%) + semester final (20%)
Absences: It is the student’s responsibility to request and complete make-up
work that was missed while absent.
Students are granted two days for each excused day absent to turn in
missed work, as per the student handbook.
If a homework assignment was due on the day
of the absence the student will not be required to make-up the daily homework
assessment. Instead the teacher will
select five problems similar to those on the assessment and give the student
points based upon these problems.
Late Work:
*Homework turned in 1 day late will be worth 3 completion points (if it is turned in
complete).
*Homework
turned in 2 days late will be worth 2 completion points (if it is turned in
complete).
*Work
turned in after 2 days will not be accepted and will be worth 0 homework
completion points.
Extra Credit: No extra credit will be
given. If students turn in work on time,
they should not need any extra credit.
Projects: Any project completed will be
worth a “Test Grade”.
