GRADING: Grading per nine weeks will be based on total points. Quarter grades will be determined by dividing the total number of points earned by the total number of points possible. At the end of the first semester and at the end of the year there will be cumulative semester exams that will be twenty percent of the semester grade. There will not be a cumulative exam at the end of the first and third nine weeks. Points will be assigned for classwork, homework, labs, projects, and tests

All grades will be recorded on a computer grade book eSchool. This will allow any student or parent to assess a grade report at any time.
GRADING SCALE: A = 100% - 90% B = 89% - 80% C = 79% - 70%, D = 69% - 60%, F = 59% and
