All students are graded based on their effort, progress and mastery of in-class and homework assignments. Homework will be counted as part of your grade. Teachers will assess students based on observations, individual work, group work, quizzes, unit exams, projects and performance tasks. For each assignment students will be provided with models and exemplars of excellence. Incomplete work will count against your grades. Make every effort to take advantage of the support available to students during the day and after school.
