Fifth Grade Testing Policy
We believe that students can, and should, learn from their mistakes.
· All students receive a study guide for all social studies and science tests. The majority of study guides are given a week before the test.
· All students will be give one opportunity to “redo” a test after it is given.
· Students will need to schedule a “redo” with the teacher that gave the test.
o All redo’s will be given during the students own time (not class time). Times that are appropriate are: before school, after school, during recess.
o The two scores will be averaged together, and that will be the final score.
o Students will have two weeks to schedule the redo. After two weeks, the grade will be considered final.
· This applies only to tests and quizzes, not daily work.
· When you see homework that has been sent home, check for a percentage or point grade. If there is a percentage or point grade, this has been graded and is in the gradebook.
· Mid-quarter and report card grades are a cumulative average of the work throughout the quarter.
· NOTE: You can access grades online at any time. Please contact your child’s teacher or the office to get an access code.
Grade Scale:
A 94%-100%
B 86%-93%
C 78%-85%
D 70%-77%
N 0%-69%
