Unit Standards: New Grading System
You will have multiple opportunities to demonstrate mastery of a standard. At the end of the unit and before the test, your highest score will be accepted as the “practice” grade. The rest will not contribute toward your grade. If you reach a mastery score before the five attempts are finished, the additional practice will be modified for your enrichment.
PRACTICE GRADES ARE NOT FINAL UNTIL THE FIFTH ATTEMPT
You will also earn a “mastery” score on an end-of-unit test. There will be one week to complete any re-takes if you want to work for a higher summative (end of unit) grade.
MASTERY (TEST) GRADES ARE NOT FINAL UNTIL THE END OF RETAKES, DECEMBER 19.
