Notebooks: Each student is expected to have a composition notebook. These are exclusively for math work. There will be a location in the classroom for students to store their notebook if they are not responsible enough to keep up with them on their own. You will be given more information about these notebooks.

Grading Policy:Standards Based Grading System:

A 100 – 93Quests 90%

B92 – 85 Tests/Other 10%

C84 – 75

D70 – 74

F69 – below

Quests (90%): Quests are a combination of tests and quizzes, smaller than a test and bigger than a quiz. They will be used to directly assess the standards. Each quest will contain 2 old standards and 2 new standards, for a total of 4 standards.

  • There will be 3-5 questions per standard on each assessment. Students will earn a 5 point grade for each standard tested, so one assessment will give them 4 grades.
  • Once the class has been tested over the standard twice, you will receive a total grade out of 10. This is the grade that will be added to the grade book.

There will be opportunities for reassessments.

**Students must provide proof of effort to relearn material to reassess (this will be left up to teacher discretion). For example: tutoring, extra practice problem, Kahn Academy videos, etc.

  • First reassessment can earn up to 9.5/10
  • Second reassessment can earn up to 9/10
  • Third reassessment can earn up to 8.5/10

Each reassessment wipes out the previous score. For example, if a student earns a 7/10 on the first assessment and retakes it once and earns an 8/10, then the grade will be 8/10. However, if the student earns an 8/10 on the first assessment and retakes it once and earns a 7/10, the grade will be a 7/10.

ALL reassessments MUST be completed by the end of the 9 weeks grading period.

Tests/Other (10%): Tests will be given at the end of every 9 weeks. They will be testing everything the student has covered during the current 9 weeks. This 10% will also be used for other assignments that your student’s teacher assigns. Those assignments are up to that particular teacher.

I have read the class syllabus and understand what I need to bring to class and what is expected each day.
