All Grades are now using cumulative grading. This means at the end of a 6-weeks grading period, the student will keep that grade and will begin with that grade the following 6-weeks. Students are encouraged not to get behind as by the end of the school year it would be difficult to bring up a low average.
The weights of various kinds of graded activities are listed below for the 7th and 8th grades. 6th grade weighting will vary from teacher to teacher.
Homework - assignments checked for accuracy - 20%
Homework - process grades checked to see if completed - 20%
Tests - 40%
Midterm Exam - 10%
Final Exam - 10%
