Cheating, Averaging, Grading Scale
Cheating
Cheating is considered a serious offence. If a student cheats on his/her work, the student will be referred to the student’s principal. The parent or guardian will be notified by the teacher. The principal will assign the punishment.
The student will be able to make up the work using a similar assessment instrument (not the same test). This will be done before or after class, on the student’s own time, and within a reasonable time period. In no way is the made up work to cause the teacher a hardship in averaging grades and turning them in at the end of a grading period. If the work is not completed by the deadline, the grade becomes a zero and is averaged.
Averaging
Grades will be averaged to determine mastery of referenced standards.
Grading Scale and Information to Student:
The school scale is followed:
A: 100-93; B: 92-85;C: 84-75;D: 74-70
If the decimal average is more than .445, the grade is rounded up.
STUDENTS OFTEN WANT TO KEEP TRACK OF THEIR GRADES. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO WAIT FOR THE COMPUTER PRINT-OUT, HERE IS A WAY TO FIGURE YOUR OWN GRADE AVERAGE:
Multiply each grade times its weight. Add up the totals of all grades multiplied times their weights. Separately add the total of the weights. Divide the total weight into the total grade points and move the decimal two places.
FOR EXAMPLE:
Grade x Weight=Grade points
100 X .33= 33
90 X .15= 13.5
85 X .75= 63.4
Total Grade Pts.=109.9 Total Weight=1.23 Divide 109.9 by 1.23 (and move the decimal two places)
Grade Average=89
