1. Spongebob, the English Grading Policy, and You (With very little Spongebob.) The following are changes to the English grading policy that effect you as a student!

2. Grading Categories Pre AP and On-Level ▫Process 60%  (formerly formatives) ▫Product 40%  (formerly summatives) AP ▫Process (40%)  (formerly formatives) ▫Product (60%)  (formerly summatives) These will be the only two categories! (Student Expectations is out the window, along with the other skill-based categories!) You will be assigned a minimum of 6 process grades and 2 product grades for each six weeks.

3. Homework If you fail to turn in a homework assignment on time, you will lose 5 points a day until you get to the floor defined by your teacher.

4. Missing or Late Work All missing or incomplete process (formative) assignments must be completed by the date of the associated product (summative) assignment. ▫It doesn’t make sense for you to turn in a worksheet that was intended to prepare you for a test after you have taken the test! ▫If you turn these assignments in after this point, you will receive a 0. Remember, if an assignment is late, you will lose 5 points a day until you turn it in. Missed product or summative assignments must be completed as soon as possible.

5. Retesting You may retest on ANY assignment (yes, process or product!) if you receive a grade lower than a 70. However, the maximum score you can get on the retake is a 70. You will have 5 school days upon the return of a product (summative) assignment to retake. ▫You must see me for remediation/tutoring ▫The test will be different than the original You can retake a process (formative) assignment up until the summative is given.
