Grading Policies
Students are graded on the work that they produce, never their effort or participation; however effort and participation can greatly affect the level of work a student turns in.
If a student fails an assessment (below 70%), he/she will receive remedial lessons, and have an equivalent make-up test for which he/she cannot earn above 70%, regardless of the actual score on the make-up test.
If a student is absent, he/she has as many days as he/she was absent to make up the work.
90%-100% = A
80%-89% = B
70%-79% = C
Below 70% = F
