40% Tests / Major Projects
*A minimum of one grade from the 40% category must be included in each progress report with a minimum total of 3 grades per nine weeks report card.
The semester/final examination grade will be given in all courses, which will count for 10% of the final/semester grade.
Late work is defined as any assignment that is not submitted on its due date, with the exception of make-up work for absences or approved school activities. When an assignment is submitted after the due date, a maximum penalty of five (5) points per day will be deducted from the grade. In case of extenuating circumstances, it is the parent/guardian and/or student’s responsibility to inform the teacher and/or appropriate administrator so that an exception to the rule may be considered. The principal or designee will have the final authority to grant any exceptions.
*Missing assignments will be recorded as “M” and count as a zero.
For Students Enrolled in Advanced Academic Courses From the JISD Secondary Grading and Reporting Handbook:
“Judson ISD offers a variety of advanced courses designed to enhance and challenge a student’s secondary school experience. For those students who choose to enroll in advanced academic courses, the grading policy could be different. There are higher academic and curricular standards set forth by the programs endorsing the courses. These courses include, but are not limited to, Advanced Placement (AP), Pre-AP, International Baccalaureate (IB), Pre-IB, GT, Dual Credit, and Honors. The course syllabi will outline the established grading policy for the course. IB operates on a grading policy of 60% minor and a 40% major with a three day late policy.”
