- ***Grading update for 2020-2021 school year
- Grading: Your quarterly grade will be based 10 Formative grade weight on your 90% SUMMATIVE assessments. You will have a formative grade (on-going progress) and a summative grade (assessing overall knowledge). Your formative grade has a weight of 10%to your overall grade, however, in order to retake a low summative assessment your formative work must be completed. Your efforts in formative grades will be reflected in your HOW (habits of work/academic responsibility). *see RSU14 high school policy Formative grades (10%): VHL activities, in-class practice assignments, most homework assignments, some quizzes. Learning Activities and Formative Assessments help me see how the class is doing. If you are not doing well on the practice, you must find time for extra help.
- Summative grades (90%): Quizzes, tests, projects, presentations and interpersonal “face-to-face” conversations.
