Grading Practices
Millstone Middle School
We believe that:
Students are individuals who learn differently and deserve to be given a fair opportunity to demonstrate their academic growth.
Grades should reflect knowledge of content and ability to apply relevant skills.
Grading policies should be consistent within a content area at each grade level.
Millstone Middle School
Effort, Preparedness, Participation and Behavior:
- Will not be mathematically factored into a student’s grade with the exception of some Related Arts Courses
- Power School, email, phone calls, and conferences will be utilized to communicate with parents about these traits
- Rubrics, checklists, and/or other documentation should be created to measure, assess, and report these characteristics
Homework
- Will account for no more than 10% of grade
- Will be standardized by department and grade level, i.e., both grade level teachers must be aligned with how homework is graded
- Homework should not exceed 10 mins per grade level (i.e. 70 mins in 7th grade)
Lates/Zeros:
- Daily: Teachers may give zeros for homework/daily assignments - decisions to made at department/grade level and must be consistent with one another
- Projects: Late policies are to be developed by grade level/department partners and should be consistent (tiered system such as one grade lower per day)
**Parents should be notified on the second day an assignment is missing
Millstone Middle School
Retakes: - Retakes will only be allowed for failing grades on major assessments, i.e., tests, exams, final essays
etc. *See 60% philosophy below (Think about GAME DAY!) - Projects can be improved upon within a reasonable time (agreed upon within grade level and department) - Exceptions only for extenuating circumstances and individualized plans 60% Philosophy: - Students who score less than a 60% on a major assessment and meet the teachers’ established
criteria for retakes (such as attending LEHP, making corrections, showing evidence of studying, etc.) may be given ONE retake to earn a grade of 60% maximum.
Grading Group Assignments: - Teachers will use a combination of individual and group grades - Every student should be responsible for handing something in as an individual to culminate the
assignment - Group work will be evaluated using a rubric - Behavior will be dealt with separately from the grade Extra Credit: -No individualized assignments to raise one student’s grade -Extra credit must be higher level work and made available to all students in the class -Extra Credit must be academic based, ex., no points for bringing in tissues, glue, etc. -Policies must be consistent within the grade level/department

Geese fly in a V formation to conserve their energy. Each bird flies slightly above the bird in front of him/her, resulting in a reduction of wind resistance. The birds take turns being in the front, falling back when they get tired. In this way, the geese can fly for a long
time before they must stop for rest.
