Grading
Quarterly grades are based on a point system with the following components:
- Homework= 2-5 points per assignment; opportunity to correct for full credit
- Classwork = 5-10 points per assignment; opportunity to correct for full credit
- Quizzes = 40-50 points
- Unit Tests* = 100 points
*No re-dos on summative assessments
- First semester grade (S1) = 40% Q1 + 40% Q2 + 20% Mid-Term Exam Grade
- Second semester grade (S2) = 40% Q3+ 40% Q4 + 20% Final Exam Grade
**Students must achieve an average of 85 or above for S1 and S2 in order to be placed in Honors Geometry in grade nine.
