Classroom Information

Welcome to 8th Grade Math

 Grading:

Students will earn two grades, an Academic and an Effort grade. The academic grade is based on the standards in the course. Students will be assessed using the above listed standards and assigned a proficiency level for each standard. 

Academic: A-F grades

-Students demonstrate mastery of the concepts based on tests and projects. Students may make up these assignments to show mastery after being re-taught, getting tutoring, or independently studying.

Effort: Excellent, Satisfactory, and Needs Improvement grades

-Effort grades represent students behavior in class, participation on assignments and discussions, and work completion of homework or class assignments.

Absent Policy:

If you are absent, you are responsible for getting and completing the classwork and homework that you missed. There will be a file folder area that will have copies of all of the handouts or descriptions of the assignments that were given on the day you were absent.
