Progressive Discipline (LMS Policy)
Step 1: Verbal warning
Step 2: Student/teacher conference
Step 3: Parent contact/conference
Step 4: Detention and a parent contact
Step 5: Referral to administration for repeat Class I violations and initial Class II and Class III offenses (Madison City Schools Code of Conduct)
Severe disruptions or behaviors will result in an immediate administrative referral.
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.
Late Work Policy
All work is expected to be turned in complete and on time. Late work will be accepted with a 25% deduction in points. No late work will be accepted after the end of the nine weeks. 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 all possible points if an assignment is to be turned in late.
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
And Cell Phones
Effective July 1, 2025, the use, operation, or possession of Wireless Communications Devices including but not limited to cellular telephones, tablet computers, laptop computers, pagers, gaming devices, smart watches, earphones or headphones in school buildings or on school grounds during the Instructional Day, is prohibited. 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.
