Grade Scale
A = 93-100 B = 85-92 C = 77-84 D = 70-76 F = Below 70
Course Work Weighting:
Formal Assessments (test, projects) = 65%
Informal Assessments (homework, classwork, notebooks, class participation, quizzes, warm-ups) = 35%
Guidelines for Academic Make-up Work Per CMS Student Handbook
A student who misses homework assignments or other assignments because of absences, whether excused or unexcused, must be allowed to make up the work. Students should request make-up work for an absence and arrange to complete the work within five days of returning to school. The student must initiate the contact with the teacher. In all circumstances, homework and other assignments should be accepted, even when turned in after the designated due date. Credit for late work shall be awarded according to the following guidelines:
-If the student was present in class on the due date, the work may be given less credit.
-If the student was not present in class on the due date because of an excused or code zero absence, full credit shall be given for the completed work.
84% Mastery Concept at Ridge Road
● Students who fail to score at least 84% on an assessment (major tests or formal assessments) will have the opportunity to retake the assessment once.
● Students will have opportunities during the school day and before/after school to gain the deficit knowledge necessary to demonstrate mastery when the assessment is re-administered.
● The re-test will cover the same content material, but will not be identical to the original test.
● Tutoring/Test corrections are a mandatory step taken prior to retesting.
● The retest score obtained may be higher than 84%, but the gradebook grade will not reflect anything higher than 84% for a re-test score. For example: If the first score is 78 and the second score is 90 then the final gradebook score is 84. The maximum re-test score a student can earn is 84%.
● Re-tests will take place within 5 days of the original feedback date
