ISS Grading Scale A = 93 -100 B = 85 – 92 C = 77 – 84 D = 70 – 76 F = 69 and below 69 is the lowest grade I give unless the assignment is not turned in at all. A zero will then be given. Please discuss your expectations with your child; letter vs. number. Grades and averaging are new concepts. Any grade below a 77 can be corrected. The highest grade that will be given is a 77.
