Grading Policy

 

 

 

We use  a Total Point System for our grades.

 

Every assignment, test, quiz, or project will be assigned a certain number of points. (The bottom number)

The number of points earned by the student will be the top number.  Example: 48/50

All of the possible points will be added up.  All of the points earned by your student will be added up. 


NOTE:  The lower the total point value of the assessment or assignment, the less "weight" that assessment or assignment carries.

 

  

 The Diocese has designed a new report card. It went into effect in the 2024-2025 school year.

 Social Studies  homework is given at times to reinforce a concept. 

 

 

Religion

Students are assigned " tests "  for  homework after each lesson has been presented.   

Students are encouraged to use their textbooks when they complete each of  the lesson tests. 

 

 

 

General Information

 

 If you find your child coming home with any  homework in  this means your sttudent  is having difficulty completing the assignments in school.  

Many times this is due to inattention or socializing during class. Once the student sees the work still needs to be completed, regardless of time

constraints during the day, the behavior often remediates itself.

                         

 

  If you consistently see your student bringing home classwork,  please contact me and we can discuss a course of action. 

 

 

When a student does not hand in an assignment  there will be a Missing placed in the parent portal.  This gives you, the parent, a better indication of where your student's grade actually stands.

Once the assignment is made up, the missing will be replaced with a grade.

 

 

Assignments in any subject may need to be submitted on TEAMS.  

 Do not take a photo of your student's assignment. Please scan and upload the assignment when indicated.

 

 

 

 Late work for a unit of study will not be accepted once the test for that unit has been taken

 

 

 

4th-grade homework is  graded using the Total Point System.  

 One missing homework should not hurt a student's grade, but a pattern of missing homework will hurt a grade.  

                         Please frequently check the Parent Portal.

 

 

 Please send me an email or a note if an emergency occurred that made it difficult

for your child to complete his homework.

 

  

 

 

 From Parent/Student Handbook:

 

If a student is taken out of school to go on vacation while school is in session, the parent assumes the responsibility for work missed. 

The teacher is NOT responsible for work missed because of vacation absence.

Written classwork will not be given to any child before leaving for vacation. 

 Make-up work is to be done at home upon the child’s return.
