Homework-Social Studies
All grades are based on the number of points possible for any given assignment. The following scale determines the letter grade associated with a student’s percentage grade. A = 90% - 100%B = 80% - 89%C = 70% - 79%D = 60% - 69%F = 59% or below
Weighing of grades is to be determined.
Grading Policy
Studying for a test is expected the first time that test is given.
Retake opportunities should not be used as an excuse to not study.
Students can retake a test at the discretion of the teacher.
If allowed, students must on their own retrieve and complete a retake form within a week of receiving their original test grade. The form must be signed by a parent and teacher.
