Guidelines and Practices for 6th Grade social studies:
- A variety of practice and assessments will be used to determine a student’s grade in social studies.
- 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.
- 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%.
- 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
Work Habits: Be prepared, Be productive, Be prompt (this includes on time to class and with assignments)
EXM – Always prepared for class, uses class time productively, no late and or missing assignments, on time to class.
