Guidelines and Practices for 6th Grade social studies:

  1. A variety of practice and assessments will be used to determine a student’s grade in social studies.
  2. Re- do’s are allowed on grades given for social studies assignments and occasionally, assessments. The highest grade a student can receive on a re- do assignment or assessment is an 85%, or a “B.” Re- do’s are due one week after the assignment is handed back.
  3. Due date is the due date. 1 day late = 25% off grade earned, 2 days late = 50% off grade earned, 3 days late graded for content but will earn a 0%.
  4. For each day an assignment is late, work habit points  will be removed from the student. A student may lose up to five total work habit points for a late/ missing assignment.

 

 

Work Habits and Citizenship

We use the labels, EXM, PRO, PP, and NE, so at a glance students, parents and teachers can discern the difference between academic grades and WH/CIT when looking at or entering grades.

 

EXM (exemplary) = 95% equivalent to an A 

PRO (proficient) = 80%, equivalent to a B-

PP(partially proficient) = 60% Passing at a D

NE (not evident ) = 50% Failing
