Connections Grading Policy
Attendance is crucial to the student's learning. Each day, we are building on something that we did yesterday. So, please make every effort to make sure that your child comes to class every day ready to learn.
Spelling and vocabulary tests are given every Friday. Words are handed out at the beginning of the week with worksheets for practice. It is up to the student to be prepared for the test. Feel free to give your student practice tests.
Any grade below a passing 70 can be redone. BOTH grades will be averaged for the new grade. Your student MUST request to retest or redo an assignment. The students are being taught that they are in charge of their education. Please help your student understand this policy.
Grades can be checked on the Parent Portal on episd.org
Graded tests will be given to the student to place in their binder. Please review any part of the test with your student.
We grade on a 9 week period basis.
