Grading Practices
Why me?!
Homework: Homework is Mandatory! I promise not to assign homework that is not meaningful or necessary for your student to practice and learn. Homework is practice. If you have child is sports, you know that practice makes them better in their sport. Same goes for learning new things. It also gives students that opportunity to see where their strengths and weaknesses are before they reach the end of the unit test.
If a student is missing an assignment, I will give them two days to get it in to me. More than two days late the student will be staying in at lunch time with me to get it done. I call this "Ketchup Time". Yes, they will get to eat in my room.
All homework is graded on how well the student performed not wether it is late or not. Any grade below a "B" can be redone for a higher grade within 2 weeks after originally assigned.
Quizzes and Tests: Make-ups can be done during lunch or after school. Again any grade below a "B" can be redone for a higher grade. Retakes are done 2-8 days after the original test was given and original test with parent signature must be turned in before the retake. Test are the biggest portion of students final grades.
