Grading Policy

Students’ grade will be based on the points earned on tests (Safety Tests 100% pass required (unlimited retakes available)), in class activities, and homework.

All assignments must be completed on time to receive full credit. Students will be allowed time to make-up any assignment for partial credit. If you are absent, all assignments will need to be made up within one week to receive full points.

Grades can be found at https://myweber.wsdinfo.net Please check for them. If you have any questions, please have your student talk to me, email, or call between 7:15am-3:00pm.

Extra credit is encouraged. However, it CANNOT REPLACE the regular assigned work. Extra credit counts only if all assignments are complete and the student is still falling short on points.
