Points shall be assigned to students for each assignment/assessment and at the end of the nine-week period, a percentage grade shall be computed by dividing the points earned by the total possible points.

Grading Policy Homework, if used as a grade, should not be graded on correctness, but rather on completion o The assignments/assessments should be distributed throughout each nine weeks and should be scored/graded and posted to the electronic gradebook by the teacher in a timely manner (within 3 – 5 days). The assignments/assessments and grades should NOT be done all at the end of the grading period but should be distributed equitably throughout each nine-week grading period in order to provide parents and students with ongoing reporting of student learning in a course.
