    Grading Policy

    (MCS Policy)

    60% =  Assessments (Tests, Essays, Projects)

    40% = Daily Grades (Quizzes, Homework, Classwork, and Participation)  


    All work/steps must be shown to ensure full credit on any assignment.  Without documentation showing how the problems were solved, credit may not be given, even if answers are correct. 


    For assessments, an Error Analysis opportunity will be provided.

    Late Work Policy

    All work is expected to be turned in complete and on time. Late work will be accepted for credit until the end of the instructional unit with a 25% deduction in points after the unit is complete. If an extension is needed due to an extenuating circumstance, please work with the teacher to decide on an adjusted due date. Communication is required to secure possible points if an assignment is to be turned in late.


    A final due date will be set for any missing assignments at the end of each term to provide time for grading.

    Make-up Work/ Test Policy

    Students with excused absences will be allowed to make-up all work within three days of returning

    to school. It is the student’s responsibility to ask for make-up work. Students should check

    Schoology for daily work, then ask the teacher for clarification if needed. Work that is not

    made up will become a zero (including quizzes/tests which need to be done in the classroom).

    Technology

Violation of Board policy with respect to such use, operation, or possession of Wireless Communication Devices will constitute a Class II violation. Madison City Schools has outlined an Electronic/Wireless Device Policy (Policy 6.20) on page 137 of the MCS Policy Manual.


    Students should bring their MCS chromebooks and chargers to class each day. Teachers monitor student activity and participation; however, students are responsible for their activity on school-issued devices and using their MCS accounts.
