Mathematics Grading Policy

Grades are an important tool used to inform students, parents, and teachers about the student’s performance in reaching the goals and objectives of a specific subject course.

A grade of “A” indicates exceptional mastery of the course’s objectives in knowledge and skills.
A grade of “B” indicates a competent mastery of the course’s objectives in knowledge and skills.
A grade of “C” indicates that course objectives were satisfactorily achieved in knowledge and skills.
A grade of “D” indicates minimal achievement of the course’s objectives in knowledge and skills.
A grade of “F” indicates insufficient achievement of the course’s objectives in knowledge and skills.

Grading Scale                                               Course Assessment
A: 100%-90%                                     Tests / Projects: 30% (approximately)
B: 89%-80%                                         Quizzes: 30% (approximately) 
C: 79%- 70%                                        Classwork: 30% (approximately)
D: 69%- 60%                                        Homework: no more than 10%
F: 59% and below

Tests are given at the conclusion of each course subject unit.  Quizzes may be expected once or twice a week, as I deem necessary.  Classwork is completed on a daily basis.  Homework is usually assigned Monday through Thursday.  If a classwork assignment is not completed in class, it may be assigned to be finished outside of class.  Extra credit opportunities will be provided throughout the year.

 I believe my success as a teacher is directly related to my students’ success. I provide a great variety of opportunities for students to reach their academic goals in my class, including accommodations and modifications. An accommodation is an adjustment in instruction or assessment that allows students to complete their grade level work. A student receiving accommodated instruction or assessment are assessed on an A-F grading scale. A modification is an adjustment in the course curriculum and assessment that meets the needs of a child who is working below grade level.  Students working in a modified/below grade level curriculum are assessed on a C-F grading scale.
