Grading Scale:
 4 – Working above 7th grade level
 3 – Meeting 7th grade standard
 2.5 – Almost meeting 7th grade standard
 2 – Understanding is at a very basic level
 1.5 – Almost understanding the bare basics
 1 – Minimal understanding – Able to complete problems but only with help.
(In Quarter 3 & 4 students will be working on 8th grade standards, their scores will reflect
their work according to the 8th grade standard level, i.e. 3 – Meeting 8th grade standard)
Homework:
 It is the expectation that all assignments will be completed by the next class. If there
are extensions to the due date these will be communicated to the students.
o Students will receive an N for Responsibility for missing work.
o Students will receive a P for Responsibility for late or incomplete work.
o Assignments will be routinely collected and evaluated but will not be included in
the final grade.

It is the expectation that if students miss class they use their planner or the team
website to get the assignment. They will have 1 day for each day missed to complete
and turn in the assignment missed.

If students know they will be gone, it is their responsibility to get the assignment and
complete it prior to the absence. If there will be a test, arrangements must be made to
complete this test.
