    2022-2023 Course Information (for PowerSchool)

     

    Note:  These policies are subject to change depending on the school status as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

    WELCOME TO CLASS!

    GRADING CRITERIA
    Each semester, grades in this class will be weighted and distributed using the following criteria:

    ASSESSMENTS: 75%
    IN-CLASS ACTIVITIES:  25%
    HOMEWORK:  0%

    ASSIGNMENT SCORING IN POWERSCHOOL:
    The following scores and indicators in PowerSchool are used to flag practice assignments and in-class activities:

    4:  Assignment is Accepted

    3 (​ in PowerSchool):  Assignment was submitted Incomplete and is not accepted  (Check Canvas comments for more info)

    2 (​/NHI (Not Handed In) in PowerSchool):  Assignment is Missing (Applies to assignments completed both in and outside of class time, and these assignments will also be marked with the code NHI)

    Assignment submissions still flagged as missing or incomplete in PowerSchool after a topic is finished will be flagged with the LATE (​) icon and will no longer be accepted.

    While homework (practice) assignments are given a score, they do NOT count towards a student's final course grade.

    Some assignments that are submitted carry a 1-week submission window, regardless of when they are submitted. 

    A comment will be added to each assignment score in which a student used a reward coupon.

    If a student earns below 50% on an assignment or assessment, PowerSchool will now automatically change the score on the assignment to the number of points equivalent to 50% of the points possible.  I will indicate the original score of assessments in the comment section of the PowerSchool entry.

    Retake information will be linked in assignment/assessment descriptions when available.

    Note:  Refer to the complete Class Policies document for additional course information.
