Grading Policy
As students are given assignments each day in their
respective classes it is expected that they do their assignments in a
timely
fashion. Assignments should be completed by the next day when the class
meets. Students may be asked to redo assignments is I deem it
necessary. There are no retakes on quizzes and tests in my classes so
it is important to be prepared. Some projects will take longer than
overnight so students should
make sure they are completed by the due date. If work is not turned in
by the assigned time 5 points will be taken away each day from the
score. For example if the student achieved a 95% on the paper the grade
will drop to a 90% if it is turned in one day late. The score will drop
to 85% if the paper is turned in 2 days late and so on.
Exceptions may be made in extenuating circumstances.
Other items that can cause a student to lose points on an
assigned paper:
No Name
Incorrect Heading
Boone Central Middle School has the PIPSS program in
place. Students who are late with a paper will have a problem solving
session for not
completing the task on time. Boone Central uses the program Powergrade
for recording our classroom grades. Powergrade is a part of
Powerschool, which is Internet based and you can access from anywhere
that has the Internet. You need to get your username and password from
the school in order to access the information. Students will be
expected to
redo some of their assigned work if I deem it necessary. Students are
expected to do their own work. If a student is caught cheating they
will receive a zero on that assignment and not have the opportunity to
do it over.
Math Class:
Students do daily assignments each day. We grade these
assignments in class. Students record the assignment on grade sheets that I
provide. They are expected to keep these sheets in a folder. After 5 lessons
the students average the grades and that grade is recorded as part of their
math grade. Exams are given after every 5thlesson
and graded by me. Exams are weighted 3 times the value of the
average daily grade. Students are expected to keep notes in their math
notebook. Also students will be given a brain teaser to answer each
week. This will also go in their math notebook. Students may redo their
math lessons if they get below and 80% on an assignment. I do not give
retakes on tests.
Science Class:
Students will be graded on
participation, written assignments, vocabulary tests, and Chapter
tests. Students will be expected to keep a science notebook that will
have notes and also used to record data from science activities. I
will take a science notebook grade at least once a quarter. Students
may redo assignments if they get below an 80%. I do not give retakes on
tests.
Quiz Star: 6th grade students will be given two math quizzes per month and science quizzes as the chapters are completed. 7th grade math students will be given one quiz per month. Students are given a user name and password that they must use to log on. Students will be given approximately one month to complete the quizzes. They can do the quizzes on any computer that has Internet access. Students may take the quizzes up to 5 times and will receive the highest grade they achieve. Students will receive a zero if the quizzes are not completed by the deadline.
Be Prepared:
Students need to bring their materials to class each day. Students
should have their textbooks, notebooks, pencil, pen, paper for
assignments. These materials need to be their at the beginning of class
each day.
