Grades
The grade given in any course represents the teacher's considered judgment of the degree to which the student has met the expectations and achieved the goals of the course. It represents the teacher's judgment of the quality of the student's work or the student's degree of mastery. Attendance and related participation and contribution are significant factors in the grade. Grades may be reduced for absences and / or tardies. Refer to the attendance / tardy policy
for each teachers class.
