HBW Sixth Grade Grading Policy

The sixth grade department has adopted the following grading policy. Each subject area has a slight difference in categories graded. Individual classroom teachers have the discretion to modify this policy for specific students and/or classes.

The weight of each category per subject:

If a student does not complete or submit a task, assessment, project, or assignment, then a zero will be earned as a grade. If a teacher determines that the student did not attempt to meet the basic requirements of the task/assessment, then a zero will be earned as a grade.

At the teacher’s discretion, late assignments (not including daily HW) will receive a deduction of points per day late. After one week, a student must still hand in a late assignment, but no credit will be given.
