The grade your child receives depends on the total number of points each grading period. Each activity, homework assignment, test, quiz, multimedia presentation, etc. will have a point value. The points will accumulate during the entire term. The percentage of all the points possible that the student earned will determine their grade. The total number of points per grading period will vary.
Their breakdown of grade weights for the course are as follows:
3rd Quarter: 40%
4th Quarter: 40%
Final: 20%
Tests: 40

Course Requirements: In order to pass this course, students must achieve at least 70% as a final grade.
Academic Dishonesty: If a student is caught cheating on any assignment or exam in the course, they will receive a ZERO (0) for the grade.
Make-up Work Policy: Students will have three days to make up work missed due to absence. See me before or after class ONLY for the assignments. If you have a pre-planned absence, see me the day before the absence for the assignment(s). If you are absent for an extended period, we will make a schedule to allow time to make up all assignments. Alternative assignments may be given for missed laboratory assignments. You will receive a one in Span, until the assignment is made up. If the work is not made up it will receive a ten percent. If a student earns a 77% less on an exam or in the class, they will be assigned MGS on Mondays during A lunch. The student will have the opportunity to earn points back on their exam grade.
