7th Grade Science Grading Policy (follows Millsap Middle School’s Policy): 

  • At least 8 daily grades per six weeks (50% of science average)
  • At least 2 major grades (projects/unit tests) per six weeks (50% of science average) 

Homework Policy: 

  • An assignment may be turned in up to three days late for credit
  • Incomplete assignments will not be accepted 
  • Homework is due at the beginning of class 
  • If a student turns in an incomplete assignment, the assignment will be returned to the student  to complete. The student may turn in the assignment for a late grade. 

Late Work Policy: 

  • 1 Day Late: 10 points deducted 
  • 2 Days Late: 20 points deducted 
  • 3 Days Late: 30 points deducted 

*A permanent zero will be entered into the grade book beyond three late days. 

Students are allowed to correct any failing daily assignment. Students must follow the following correction procedure. Corrections should be  done in a timely manner (according to school policy – within 3 days).

Daily Work Correction Procedure: The students may pick up a blank copy of the assignment and correct the problems that need to be corrected. They may only pick up the copy of the assignment before school, during passing period, or after school. The students will have to turn in the original assignment and the corrected copy. 

Notes: 

  •  A grade below a 70% on any daily assignment may be corrected for a grade NO HIGHER than a 70%.  
  • Correcting an assignment does NOT guarantee a 70%. 
  • A student may NOT correct late work for an enhanced grade. 
  • An assignment may not be corrected if the student does not have the original graded assignment

Test and Project Retakes: 

Students are also allowed to retake a failing major grade (test) for a grade of no higher than a  70. The retake test will consist of the same concepts as previously tested, but not the same  questions/problems. In order retake a major grade, students must follow the test retake  procedures that follow: 

  • Retakes must be taken within 3 school days of receiving your test grade. 
  • We will correct our tests on the day after the test to receive half credit 
  • EVERYONE completes corrections and if the student is still not passing after the half credit corrections, they may retake the exam. 

Students are also allowed to redo a failing project for a grade of no higher than a 70. The project redo will consist of a research project of the topic. The student would be given three days to turn in the redo project. 

Please refer to the student handbook for any school wide policies such as absences, dress code,  tardiness, etc.
