GRADING AND REPORTING
Grades will reflect what a student knows and is able to do in relation to the MCPS
curriculum.
■
Subject teams/departments determine which assignments are to be reassessed.
■
Students will be awarded the grade earned on that reassessment.
■
Wootton’s primary focus with reassessment will be on those students who do not meet
departmental standards.
■
Reassessments are given within 3-5 days upon return of the original assignment.
■
Reassessments may be in the original format or an alternative format.
■
Teachers will assign a lowest grade of 50% to assignments that meet minimum
standards.
Assessments not attempted or not submitted by the deadline will receive a “0”. Work
that is plagiarized will also earn a “0”.
Homework checked for completion will account up to 10% of the marking period grade.
Grading scales will coincide with that of MCPS:
■

90%-100%
80%-89%
70%-79%

Percentage scores are utilized in the determination of grades.
•
Due dates and deadlines for daily homework are the same. Due dates and deadlines
for other assignments are at the teacher’s discretion.
Students whose performance does not reflect attainment of departmental or
individual learning goals may have the opportunity to be reassessed if they have
completed: the original assessment, the required assignments, and the
reteaching/learning activities, as determined by the teacher.
Reteaching- reassessment must occur before the unit test.
•
Unit tests may not be reassessed.
