Our Grading Scale % = A 80-89% = B 70-79% = C Below 70% = F E = Excellent S = Satisfactory N = Needs Improvement U = Unsatisfactory Grades are calculated on cumulative percentage and are rounded up whenever possible. Grading Procedures A numerical grade is given in LA, Math, Science, and Social Studies. An E, S, N, or U is given in PE, Music, and Art. An E, S, N, or U is given for Conduct and Study Habits both in the room and in Specials.

Conduct Grades The number of checks you earn over a six-week period determines conduct grades. If you break one of the major rules, it will be documented on our classroom management website called Class DoJo. Your parents will receive an daily informing them of your classroom behavior. For each conduct area, students are given this many chances: EESS NNNU

Late Work Policy Students shall be assessed a penalty of 10 points per day for up to three days for work not turned in on time. Extenuating circumstances will be given consideration, and exceptions will require approval of the campus principal or designee. Late work turned in after three days will be assessed a maximum 30 point deduction. If the work is not turned in before the last day of the six- weeks grading period, a grade of zero will be assigned. An assignment is considered late if it is not turned in the day after it is assigned. If an assignment is not turned in, I will note it in their folder. Please check the students planner AND folder everyday for homework assignments. Every late homework assignment results in a mark on conduct WSH #2, and students will be required to complete the homework during study hall and this will be recorded in DoJo.

Absent Work When you are absent, you are responsible for picking up your Absent work from the file folders in the room. This work will not be counted late, so long as it is turned in on the make-up due date. For every day that you are absent you have that many days to complete the make-up work. If the work is not turned in on the make-up day, it will be treated as late work.

Homework 1. We will assign students minimal homework over concepts they have already worked on in class. Students should feel a great sense of success while doing their work at home because they have shown success on similar problems/assignments in class. 2. The majority of homework will be assigned each Monday. There may be times when other work may be assigned during the week. 3. Homework will not only be written on the board, but also in the student planners and on our websites. Please check our websites for additional resources regarding homework. 4. You will need to keep your daily homework inside your folder and return this to class on a daily basis. We may be checking homework from the night before, or doing an activity with the last night’s work and you will need to have it to be prepared for class.

Birthday Celebrations You are welcome to bring a treat to pass out during the last ten minutes of the school day OR your parents may purchase ice cream for the class from the cafeteria to eat during lunch. Please let me know at least ONE DAY in advance, so I can schedule time at the end of the day for the celebration!

You will start with 5 minutes of PAT time in both Mrs. Embry’s class and my class, for a total of 10 minutes. You can gain PAT time by being responsible and ready to learn by having all your supplies, and by completing procedures and instructions correctly the first time. You can also lose time for not being prepared or following procedures/instructions. On Fridays, you will be reward the PAT time you have earned for the week. PAT Time (Preferred Activity Time)
