GRADE SCALE Grades are composed of class work, homework, projects, and tests. All work is worth a designated point value. 90% - 100% = A 80% - 89% = B 70% - 79% = C 60% - 69% = D 0% - 55% = F Turning in work is the key to passing my class. I will always pass a student who turns in all their work. (BACK TO TOP)
LATE WORK POLICY Students have one day for each absence to make up work. Please get work ahead of time if you know you will be missing school. Late work is marked down 10% after one day and 30% starting on the second day. Work will not be accepted after 2 weeks. (BACK TO TOP)
