Grades
I input scores for each five-week report card into LAUSD's computer program (MISIS) two times during each of the four grading windows (once at the two-week mark and once at the five-week mark), at which time they are available for immediate parent access. Please be advised that specific scores and grades will not be available again until the next grading window opens.
In other words, expect new scores to be inputed into MISIS at these eight regular junctures each semester:
- 2nd week
- 5th week Progress Report Card
- 7th week
- 10th week Progress Report Card
- 12th week
- 15th week Progress Report Card,
- 17th week
- 20th week FINAL Report Card.
Deadlines and due dates are necessary parts of life and missing them always results in negative consequences. In terms of grading, I do not make exceptions, grant extensions, or create special make up work. I will accept late work, but credit for anything received after the due date will not be reflected until the next report card.
Full daily attendance is crucial to success. So, absences (even when "excused") have the potential to negatively impact a student's participation grade. There is no way to make up for missing class discussions and collaborative activities.
Extra Credit
The only extra credit available is the independent reading of additional books that have been pre-approved by Mr. Ward. Extra credit bookmarks + Book Jacket Reports are accepted at any time before each grading period. See the Homework tab for more information.
