Grading System At Dillard Drive Middle School:
We believe that grades should be reflective of student learning.
Grading Scale
A = 90-100
B = 89-80
C = 79-70
D = 69-60
F = 59-0
I = Incomplete
Grade Recovery
If assignments (mainly test) are turned in but proficiency (70% of higher) is not demonstrated, students will be granted a correction session during Smart Block.
Students will be given the opportunity to either:
a) Complete test corrections on major test only to assist in grade recovery to demonstrate their thinking around answering questions.
Students will have the form and format to do this. It is their responsibility to turn it in on the due date.
b) Take a similar test
Late Work (not due to absence or extenuating circumstances)
My expectation is that ALL assignments be completed and turned in on time. Incomplete and late work will result in an automatic 60%. Not having work on due date will result in a ZERO.
Parents will be contacted when students accumulate two zeros on assignments, or habitually turns in late or incomplete work.
Missed Work ( due to absence)
Students are expected to make up missed work, with this said : It is the students responsibility to check the class absent folder, website or Google classroom to find assignments missed.
A student has two extra days to turn in any work assigned on the a student was absent.
If a quiz was was administered on a day a student was absent, the quiz must be made up on the first day the students returns.
if previously assigned work was due on the day of the absence. the work is due on the first day the student returns.
Grade Calculation:
50% - test, projects
20%- quizzes
20% - classwork
10%-homework
