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.
! Students are responsible for all work and assignments while away on school sponsored trips. Due
dates and deadlines will coincide with the regular classroom schedule regardless of student
absence from school for an approved sponsored trip.
! Grading scales will coincide with that of MCPS:
A

C
D
E
90%-100%
80%-89%
70%-79%
60%-69%

MATH DEPARTMENT
! Percentage scores are utilized in the determination of grades.

the required assignments, and the reteaching/learning activities, as determined by the teacher.
! Reteaching / reassessment must occur within 4 days of the return of the assignment.
! Unit tests may not be reassessed.
