Homework and ClassworkStudents will be assigned homework dependent upon completion of classwork and exit tickets that showcase the students’ understanding of the topic/target.
Homework and classwork will be reviewed and scored using √+, √, √- √+=100%: full effort √=85%: partial effort √-=70%: minimal effort 60%: no effort. Fifth grade does not offer extra credit. Make up work/late work is accepted by the end of the unit or quarter whichever comes first. 5 points will be deleted from late work unless the child and teacher have set up special arrangements. |
Pre and Post TestsStudents scoring a 93% (minimum A) on a pre-test will have the opportunity to choose whether they would like to take the post-test. If they do, they will earn the better score of the two. Students scoring below an 80% on a unit post-test will have the opportunity to retake a different test This will take place after students participate in a small re-teach group during their Learning Lab block. The retest will occur in the same quarter as the original test. The final grade posted in PowerSchool Grading Portal will be the higher of the two grades. However, the retest grade can not exceed 80%. |
