MS 74 Grading Policy

Acceptable Grades: 55, 65, and single point grades from 66 to 100. Grades of 65 and above are considered passing. 

*Students must attend G.S. or Physical Education 3 times per week to receive a numerical grade. Students that attend 1 or 2 times per week due to a related service or academic intervention will receive a P (“pass”)/F (“fail”) grade. Grades 65 and above constitute a P.

Late Submission of Projects/Essays/Performance Tasks

It is every students’ responsibility to manage their schedules and complete all assignments in a timely manner. When submitting an assignment late, it is the student's responsibility to inform the teacher that the work has been submitted. All work for a marking period must be completed prior to the close of that marking period. If an assignment is late, the following table will be used to determine the impact on the overall grade:

Number of Days Late Impact on Grade
1 – 5 School Days Late 10% off
5 – 10 School Days Late 20% off
10+ School Days Late 35% off

If an assignment is not completed, it will appear as a zero in the Gradebook as a placeholder. If the assignment is not completed by the end of the marking period, the zero becomes permanent.
