    Grading System

    My grading system is based on the belief that every student can reach excellence!  I believe that each student, given the proper instruction and support can succeed in my classroom.  My system is based on students demonstrating mastery or proficiency in Science and CTE learning targets. In all cases students may revise work in order to achieve and demonstrate mastery.  These are then converted to a letter grade scale in the computer. All grades are shown on Power School. 

     

    4= Exceeding Standard

    3= At Standard

    2= Approaching Standard

    1= No Evidence of Understanding

      = Orange Square is a Missing Assignment

    If absent, it is the student’s responsibility to set make-up times. The student may do their work at home and turn it in on TEAMS. All assignments are on Office 365 TEAMS.

    How to Get Extra Help

    Come in during student access time on Monday through Friday from (7:00 a.m.-8:00) or at 2:30 – 3:00 to see me.  I will be in room R203 during these times or online. It helps if you let me know you’re planning to come in, or video in but it’s OK to just show up too!

     

    I’m looking forward to working with you this year!!!
