Assessment Policy
English Language Arts & Social Studies:
Tests are given at the end of every major concept.The frequency of tests will depend on the complexity of the topic. Two major tests will be given each quarter.
Review sheets/practice will always be assigned and reviewed prior to a test.
Quizzes will be given frequently, approximately every two to three weeks. Review sessions will take place in class.


Points will be deducted on all tests/quizzes/graded homework assignments for incomplete headings. The official school heading will be reviewed in class. Students are required to write their book number on all assignments.

Missing or incomplete names up to -10 points, Missing date -3 points, Missing class and/or missing number -2 points. No exceptions!
 
As per the student handbook, the breakdown for grading is as follows:
Summative assessments 45%
Quizzes 25%
Classwork/Participation 20%
Homework 10%

Homework Policy
Written homework is given nightly except on Fridays. Students are given time each class to copy homework into their planner. Homework assignments are also posted online daily.  The homework assignments written on the classroom board are the most accurate.
 
Homework will be reviewed daily. Missing homework will be notated by the teacher. Three missing homework assignments in one month (per subject) will result in detention.

Homework will be checked often. Any student who does not complete an assignment in its entirety will receive a ZERO for that assignment with no chance to make up the work. It is the responsibility of the student to complete all their assignments each night. Students who were absent will not be penalized. However, the homework must be completed and submitted the next day for a grade.
 
Lateness Policy
Ten (10) points will be deducted from a graded assignment for each day of lateness.  After the third day of lateness, the student will receive a grade of 0.  
Students who are absent will not be penalized.  However, once the assignments have been given upon the student's return, failure to hand them in will result in point deductions.
POINTS MAY ALSO BE DEDUCTED WHEN A STUDENT FAILS TO WRITE THEIR NAME ON GRADED ASSIGNMENTS AND ASSESSMENTS. STUDENTS MUST WRITE  AND SUBMIT ASSIGNMENTS NEATLY.

Discipline Policy
The students are expected to follow class and school rules at all times.  Failure to do so will result in a STRIKE. Three strikes will result in afterschool detention. A disciplinary referral will be issued when a student has received their sixth strike. Detention will be served as well. The strike board will reset at the beginning of each month. Any student who repeatedly breaks the same rule will receive a disciplinary referral or detention without the issuance of a strike.
Demerits are not issued in this grade level. Disciplinary referrals will be issued for any infraction stated in the planner.  
Parents will not be contacted when a student receives a strike. Parents will receive a form to sign if a detention or a disciplinary referral is issued.
