Grading:

Grading is based off a point system.  Each assignment carries a certain value of points.   Total Points are then accumulated from each assignment and divided according to UCPS grading scale. 

Example:   First grading period:  Total value of all assignment given (tests, quiz, homework, etc.) is 750 possible points.   Student has received 725 points on all accumulated assignments.  725/750 = 97 (A). All grades will be placed online for students and parents to follow.  

 

Missed Assignments:  It is the student’s responsibility to make up all missed assignments while they are out.   The amount of time is listed and outlined in the student handbook. 

  • If a grade is entered in as a 0 it will mean the students can not make up the assigment.  
  • If a grade is entered in as a 1 then then the student is eligible to make up the assignment.
