Social Studies - 100%Language Arts - 80%Vocabulary - 20%Spanish - 60%Computer - 20%2. Gym, Music, Art, and Project Explore will not be included in the calculation. A student will beineligible for First Honors, however, regardless of GPA, unless he receives achievement grades of at least a Cin these areas.3. No student will be eligible for either First or Second Honors if any of his/her grades are less thana C in any of the six major curriculum areas or Spanish, if applicable. A student with a C- in Spelling orVocabulary, Gym, Music, Art, Project Explore, and Computer class disqualifies a student from First Honorsregardless of GPA. A grade of D or less in these special subjects disqualifies a student from all honorsregardless of GPA.4. There are four effort grades for students in 3 rd through 8 th grade, one of which is leaving thereport card effort box blank. Most children are in this category which means the effort is appropriate withhis/her child’s abilities. O indicates outstanding effort; T means the child is trending down and is not workingto the best of his/her abilities; and an X means that a poor effort has impacted the final grade. Studentswith an X on the report card in any graded subject will be ineligible for the Honor Roll.5. Students who take Art and Music will only receive a report card grade at the end of the semesterdue to the infrequent number of times these classes meet during each quarter.6. First Honors: Based on an average of 3.5 to 4.0.7. Second Honors: Based on an average of 3.05 to 3.49.A+ = 4.3 A+ = 100%A = 4.0 A = 99-96 OutstandingA- = 3.7 A- = 95-93B+ = 3.3 B+ = 92-91B = 3.0 B = 90-88 Very GoodB- = 2.7 B- = 87-85C+ = 2.3 C+ = 84-83C = 2.0 C = 82-79 GoodC- = 1.7 C- = 78-77D+ = 1.3 D+ = 76-75D = 1.0 D = 74-72 Improvement NeededD- = 0.7 D- = 71-70F = 0 F = 69-0 Little or No ProgressI. Incomplete, Late and Missing Assignments:In order to insure a student’s steady academic progress, and as part of fostering responsibility,all assigned homework must be completed. If a student receives a HOMEWORK/STUDY HABITnotification as a result of missing or incomplete homework, the form is to be signed and returned to theissuing teacher with the completed homework assignment. Failure to do so may result in the issuance ofa demerit.Students are responsible for making up and completing all assigned work and tests given whilethey are absent. Students returning after being absent for an EXCUSED reason will be given anadditional number of days to make up homework or take missing tests, equal to the number of days they32
were absent. In case of extended absence (generally longer than three days), the teacher has thediscretion to assign an alternate test or form of homework to assure the student’s progress.In order to receive full credit, work must be handed in on the day it is due. Homework isconsidered late if not given to the assigning teacher before the beginning of the next class period thatday. Thus, a student who left an assignment in an outside locker during a third period Math class, forexample, may retrieve it at the end of that class and turn it in before the beginning of next class(Readingfor example) without any penalty. Afterwards, it is considered late. After Labor Day, such omissions willalso result in the issuance of a Homework/Study Habit form so the parents can be apprised of thesituation.After the date assignments are due (and allowing for any absence), missing or incomplete workwill be treated as late and up to ten points will be taken off for every day the assignment is overdue, untila maximum of forty points is lost. Teachers will also issue a Homework/Study Habit Form to keepparents informed, and attempt to email parents, to increase the likelihood of the assignment being turnedin the next day prior to the assessment of additional penalties. Should such intervention fail to producethe desired result, we will have our counselor intervene on her next work day. If the problem continuesto persist, the student will also be required to attend our SCHOLARS program to receive neededassistance.Students absent for UNEXCUSED reasons for ONE DAY ONLY must turn in missing homework andtake any missing tests ON THE DAY THE STUDENT RETURNS TO SCHOOL.For a longer period of any unexcused absence, any homework assigned PRIOR to the absencewhich is due during the period of absence will be due on the day of the student’s return to school. Workassigned during the period of absence is due, and any tests given while absent will be given, by the endof the second day after the student returns to school.Students absent for excused reasons at the end of a marking period who have missing homeworkor tests will receive an “incomplete” grade until the missing work is completed.J. Library / Learning Resource CenterA wide variety of age-appropriate books are available for student use in our elementary library.While our Jr. High learning center is also stocked with books, it is generally not the main source of readingmaterials for most of our upper classmen. Rather, our sixth, seventh, and eighth graders use this room morefor research and group projects.Any student responsible for damaged books or a lost book will be expected to pay the replacementcost. Students with overdue books, overdue fines, or overdue pink slips will temporarily be unable to checkout additional library materials. Privileges will be reinstated after the student has resolved his/her libraryissues. Students with overdue books, overdue fines and/or overdue pink slips who repeatedly ignore weeklypast due reminders (3 notes for the same book or fine) will be issued a PINK SLIP. Pink slips must bepromptly returned with a parent's signature. Additional pink slips are issued for unsigned/unreturned pinkslips. (See p. 61)K. Math & Language Arts Small Groups Lit Plus & Writer’s WorkshopTo assist with Math and Language Arts instruction in grades 4-8 we have additional staff memberswho work with the regular classroom teacher. This allows students to be grouped according to ability andalso provides for a smaller class size in these two important subjects.Seventh and eighth grade students are placed in Math, Language Arts (Writer’s Workshop), Reading(Literature Plus) groups as a result of their daily classroom performance as evidenced by grades on their fourreport cards, Iowa Basic test results, and a year-end comprehension test.33
