Grading and Late Work Policy

All high school classes share a similar grading breakdown, which is split into two categories: Summative and Formative. The grading weight for the following categories can be seen below. 

 

Grading system: Summative 60% - Formative 40%

As for the late submissions, I expect a transparent communication and I will try my best to be accommodating as much as possible given the circumstances. 

 

A grade of M (Missing) indicates that the assignment has an extended deadline. This is a placeholder grade, and the student may still submit the assignment to improve the grade, provided it is turned in by the extended deadline. With an excused absence, a student will be given 2 days to complete the work. 

 

A grade of 0 means the assignment was not submitted by the deadline (including any extensions) and can no longer be submitted for a grade.

 

 

With the exception of unique circumstances and after a one-on-one discussion, I generally do not allow test retakes. Students will have opportunities to study and review the unit before taking a test, and I am always available to provide additional assistance and support through tutoring. This policy is meant to encourage students to understand the importance of preparation and communication with their teacher.
