Grading Policy

Mrs. Lasorsa’s 8th grade MATH class - Grading and other information


November 7, 2016

Based on the work completed during Term 1 by the students, we are returning to a more traditional grading policy for Term 2.  

Assessments (Quizzes, Topic Assessments, and Projects):  50%
Class Work: 30%
Homework: 10%
Notebook: 10%

Students will have homework every night - Monday through Thursdays.  At least 2 of those nights, their homework will be to watch a video and take notes.  The other nights their homework will be to complete work on TenMarks, an online skills based program.  Homework that is not completed can not be made up unless a student is absent.  If it is submitted a day late, students can receive a maximum of 75%.  If it is submitted 2 days late, the maximum is 50%.  After that it will receive 0 credit.  A listing of the homework assigned for the week is available both on our blog and in PowerSchool when you click on their math grade.

Online lesson quizzes and MathXL assignments will count as class work grades at the percentage received in the program.  Students still need 80% on a lesson quiz to move on to the next lesson.  Although assigned in class students may still work on MathXL and Lesson quizzes at home if they choose.
