Grading & Retake Policy
Grading Policy: The 80/20 Rule and PWCS Grading Regulations
Summative – End of unit assessments, such as tests and projects, will be weighted .8 in the gradebook and be marked with the standard A, B, C, etc. system.
Formative – Practice work, such as handouts or quizzes, will carry a weight of .2 in the gradebook. These will be graded by (M) Mastery, (AM) Approaching Mastery, or (NM) Non Mastery. This corresponds to an A, C, and D, respectively, on the traditional grading scale.
**Both Summative and Formative Assessments will Determine a Student’s Level of Mastery**
Mastery and Retakes
You have the opportunity to RESUBMIT or RETAKE almost any assignment or assessment to show your knowledge. It is MANDATORY to retake all SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENTS below a 70% . Before any retake, you must remediate with me before retaking an assessment to hopefully improve your mastery of a target.
Remediation:
If you would like to retake any assessments must meet with me to review the material at least once before retaking. I will be available each morning before school at 6:45am, during second lunch, and after school only by appointment. After you have met with me to remediate, you can retake before school, during spartan time, or during lunch.
