All intermediate students earn letter grades.
Homework, in class assignments, projects are
included in the grade.
Students may retake tests and the scores are
averaged.
If a student has trouble with a concept, the teacher
will make an intervention plan with the parent.
The work is due at the assigned time. Late work is
accepted, but will not receive full point values for
the second and third trimester.
Point values are converted into percentages.
