How do I know what my grade is?
or
When to I get
my grade?
1. HOW TO
FIND OUT THE GRADE/SCORE on an assignment, or overall
grade: The school district is starting a new
district-wide grading program this year, and that will be your
"portal" to finding assignment scores and overall grades. You
(student and a parent) will be given an user id and password
so you will be able to enter the computer program to see what
scores have been earned for assignments, as well as overall
grade.
Supposedly,
the new computer program will allow me to email
assignment score results to students and parents. We'll all find
out together when and how this works. Until then, I
will use a different program from outside the school
district, and through that program I'll email home grades
once or twice a month, or upon request.
2.
WHEN to find out the grade/score depends on
the assignment.
- Monthly
turn-in work packets: Two weeks from the
turn-in day.
- Monthly
tests/quizzes taken on time: One week after
the testing period ends (so by Friday of the first week in
the next month). However, I score 95% of tests much
sooner than that, and usually within two or three
days.
- If a
test is taken as a make-up or a late test
(reminder:
late test = 20% penalty), then the test will be graded
when I get to it...it goes to the bottom of the priority
list. Usually I still score such tests relatively
quickly (within one to three days), but it might be a week
or so. It depends primarily on how busy that week
is.
- Extra credit:
it will be recorded and viewable in the gradebook in one
or two weeks after the extra credit deadline (which is
always the Thursday AFTER the monthly turn-in day).
