Grading Policy
Students will receive assignments regularly. As often as possible, students will be able to start (and in some cases complete) the assignment in class. The assignment is due the next day (unless otherwise stated).
Projects will be assigned periodically. Students will receive a rubric with the assignment and expectations for each of these projects. The rubric will be returned within a few days of the due date. Project grades will also be posted in PowerSchool in that same time frame.* At times, the actually projects are not returned right away because they may be displayed in the classroom or hallway.
Writing assignments will be assigned periodically. Students will receive the prompt and writing expectations. We use the 6+1 process at Merritt Academy. Rubrics for writing pieces will be used. Writings will be graded and returned to the student within a few days of completion along with the grades being posted in PowerSchool.*
Quizzes may be given periodically to check understanding of content. They may be announced or unannounced. Quizzes will be graded and returned to the student within a few days of completion along with the grades being posted in PowerSchool.*
Tests are given at the end of each unit (approximately every 30 days). Students will have at least one week notice prior to a test. Tests will be graded and returned to the student within a few days of completion along with the grades being posted in PowerSchool.*
