• 7th Grade Science: Grading Policies

    Academic Letter Grades will be determined according to the following weighted categories:

    •  Tests/Quizzes:                                                65%

    Qualities of a Learner Grade will be determined according to learning behaviors as described in the GVMS Qualities of Learner Rubric in the student handbook.

     

    Grading FAQs:

    Late Assignments:

    • Assignments are expected to be completed and handed in on the due date.
    • If graded assignments are late, the grade will drop 10% each school day until submitted.
    • All work should be submitted before the conclusion of the unit.

    Retakes:

    • There are no retakes on graded assignments; however, the student is encouraged to see their classroom teacher for opportunities to review the information.

    Extra Credit:

    • There is no extra credit. Multiple opportunities throughout the marking period encourage students to self-monitor learning of concepts and improve grades.
