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.
Please know this it is my priority to ensure that each student has adequate assistance and ample opportunity to succeed in this class. I look forward to working with each student. Please contact me whenever you feel necessary.
Learning Platform at Central Academy
Canvas: The majority of assignments will be submitted on our new "learning platform," Canvas. Assignments can be submitted a variety of ways including, uploading files, typing into text boxes, and sharing Google documents/presentations. Students not having used Canvas before should alert the teacher and they will be shown how to submit assignments on Canvas. Individual assignments will indicate which method of submission on Canvas is expected. If students need a refresher or have questions, they can access the Canvas Student Guide for specific instructions. It is the student's responsibility to ensure assignments are submitted on time and to contact the instructor if there is a problem. The Canvas Learning Platform logs every student log-in on Canvas which provides teachers with a list of when students log-in to Canvas using their user id.
Canvas is used to grade assignments as well, however, the grades in Canvas, while accurate to that assignment, are NOT the teacher’s gradebook. The teacher’s gradebook includes categories of assignments that may be weighted differently and may include grades for assignments that did not use the Canvas Learning Platform. Therefore, students and parents should always check their child’s true average on the Parent Portal on Powerschool.
