GRADING

Senior Grades – ASAP, once seniors have taken your exam please post their grades (using exam dates below). Grades need to be finalized for seniors Friday, May 28^th.

Underclassmen Grades are due by the end of the day Friday, June 4^th.

Dates to use for Exams are 6/02 or 6/03 or you can just enter the grade in the Grade column of the E1 term and skip creating an assignment.  Either way works.

GCS Final Exams can be exempt ONLY if the exam brings the overall grade down – 10% weight but the final grade can NOT lower their overall grade(50 if they do not take it, 60 is applied if they take it and have a lower grade.)

Teacher Made Exam or Project – 10% weight and the final grade can NOT lower their overall grade

Teacher made exams/projects can be exempt ONLY if the student has an A/B.

The easiest way to exempt is to enter the exam grades and just hit exempt. 

 New from the testing office – EOC’s if a student refuses to take it, their grade becomes a 50. The lowest grade a student can get on an EOC taken, is a 60.  (follow the same rule of “if brings grade down”)

Grade changes can be submitted after spreadsheets have been turned in.  I have attached the grade change form that has to be filled out for all grade changes. You will make the change in your gradebook but you have to give me the form to let me know what you have changed in order for me to store the grade in their historical marks.   

You will need to print out and give to me only the Score Sheet which is your spreadsheet with assignments, Qtr 3 & 4, Exam & Final (Follow instructions)

Don’t print out until all grades are complete.  You can slide it under my door which is located across from the dance room, C106.

Report cards will be mailed to students June 15^th.

A reminder that I would like to see everyone at the Greensboro Coliseum on Saturday June 5th for the 8PM graduation.  I will work out comp time deals of some sort. More information will come out as we continue to move forward. Additionally, Please assist Stephanie Powell in any capacity as many of your know Graduation is a massive and stressful undertaking.  

Thank, thank you, thank you for everything you continue to do!
