EDHS Grading Policy ATC 2012-2013

Background: The Rigor Team, which consists of EDHS teachers, recently worked together to clarify the grading policy used on campus at EDHS.

What does this mean to you, the student? You have more control and more responsibility for your schoolwork. How ??? Follow along for the FAQ….

1. What happens if I fail an assignment or a test? You may have the opportunity to re-do failing assignments within the 3 week Progress Report Window. At the end of the 3 week period, you have 5 days to make up your work. Your teacher may have you do an assignment different from the original.

2. Can I re-do assignments as many times as I want to? Yes, but remember- your teacher may have you do a different assignment than the original, and it has to be within the 3 week window.

3. How do I go about re-doing an assignment? You must approach your teacher about any re-do or make-up work. Remember your deadlines!

4. What if I turn in work past the due date? Your teacher may assess a penalty for late work in order to keep from penalizing students that turn in work on time.

5. What if I have missing work? Your teacher may assign alternate assignments to replace your missing work. Remember- your teacher cannot know what you know until you turn in your assignments.

6. What if I have unexcused absences? After your teacher verifies your absence as unexcused, your teacher is not required to give you a make-up assignment. Go to class! We can’t help you if you’re not here!

7. What if I have questions? Go to your teachers-they will be happy to clarify the grading policy for you. They work hard to make sure you get the help you need to be successful!
