students’ learning in the classroom.
These marks/grades are to reflect a students’ learning of classroom

at the end of the each semester.
Formative Assessments:
Represent approximately 50% of final calculated grade (by total points).
• Minimum of 12 assignments given during the 18 week semester.
• Activities include:
o Homework: Homework is to be used as a reinforcement tool to
improve and extend learning or mastery of a topic or concept. The student should be able to complete the
task independently without the requirement of adult support. It is not to exceed more than 10% of a
students’ final grade. Assigned homework
(actually assigned to be completed at home) is not to consist of new material
or content.

the student
Extra Credit: Extra Credit
is optional according to the teacher. It
must be standards based and directly related to the class’ curriculum. Extra credit cannot raise a student’s grade
by more than 2%. Extra credit does not
replace normal assignments.

school days to make up the work for full credit.
