General Information

  • Grades are posted in PowerSchool as soon as possible. Please check PowerSchool at least once a week to check for any updates. Students, please see me outside of class if there are any problems with your grades or if you have any questions.

Grade Weighting

  • Because grades are weighted, you cannot calculate your grades by dividing the points you earned by total points possible.


    Math 8 grades are weighted as follows:

    • 70% - Assessments (Tests, Quizzes, Projects, Etc.)
    • 30% - Practice Work (Homework, Online Participation, Etc.)

    Algebra and Geometry grades are weighted as follows:

    • 80% - Assessments (Tests, Quizzes, Projects, Etc.)
    • 20% - Practice Work (Homework, Online Participation, Etc.)

Grade Scale

  • The grading scale for this course is as follows:

    • 100% - 90% = A
    • 89% - 80% = B
    • 79% - 70% = C
    • 69% - 60% = D
    • 59% or below = F

    “+” and “-“ grades are given

Extra Credit

  • It is important that each student does their best at all times!

     
    The grade a student receives needs to be a true reflection of their effort and achievement. I do not provide extra credit to inflate a student’s overall class grade.
     
    Sometimes there are bonus problems on tests and sometimes I will randomly decide to give bonus points to students who go above and beyond what is requested of them.
