Homework

Student absences will greatly affect comprehension as well as classwork, and this deficit will be immediately reflected in the grade.  Following an absence, a student has the same number of days to complete makeup work as they were absent.  (School policy:  A day for a day).

Grading

Assignment grading is done on the following eight-point scale.  Grades are made up of Classwork, Tests, Homework, Projects, Book Reports, Writing Pieces, etc.

Grading Scale:                                                          Grading Scale:

8 – Above Standard (100%)                                100 – 90 = A

7 – Meets Standard (88%)                                 89 – 80 = B

6 – Approaching Standard (75%)                          79 – 70 = C

5 – Below Standard (63%)                                 69 – 60 = D

                                                                59 -   0 = F

The overall grades for English will be based on the average percentage of classroom assignments.
