Grading Policy Reminder

If the student scores less than a 75 on any assignment, they will be given the opportunity to redo it after speaking to the teacher about the questions missed. The highest grade that can be received on a redo is a 75. In order to receive the higher grade, the students must “correct and reflect.” This means that they must rewrite the questions on a separate sheet of paper with the corrected answer, as well as the reason they feel that they missed the question initially. This paper must be stapled to the original. It is the responsibility of the student to redo failing grades, not the teacher. We will not ask a student to redo work. Their grade is in their hands. Any student wishing to improve any test grade may re-take it and will receive the average of the two. Deadlines for assignments are also an important element in fifth grade. Students are expected to turn their work in on the day that it is due with the required heading on it. This is good practice for middle school where they could be given a zero if the assignment is not turned in on time, or if it is turned in without a name on it. Points will be deducted in each of these cases.

If you have any questions regarding the 5th Grade grading policy, please feel free to contact me.
