Grading Policy

Classwork will be weighted as follows:

1. Assessments (ASMT) - 60%. This category will include presentations, longer writing assignments, and projects.

2. Classwork and Assignments (ASGN) - 40%. These are shorter things we do in class every day, including grammar and reading assignments.

Due Dates

Due dates decide the order of "To-Do" items on each student's Canvas home page. All short assignments (ASGN) will be due at 3 pm on the day they are assigned. Longer writing assessments (ASMT) will have work time provided in class, and the opportunity to get feedback for revisions from your teacher.

Closing Dates

All assignments will close two weeks before the end of the trimester. For trimester 1, this date is Wednesday, November 13, 2024. I will allow all students to turn in late work or re-do work for a higher grade up until this time. After November 13, 2024, I will only accept, and grade assignments and assessments given after that date. To help you prepare for the closing date, I will email progress reports on November 6 (one week before) to all students and parents. This report will provide you with a list of your missing assignments and an idea of how you have been performing in class (preliminary grade).

Do your work as it is assigned so you do not get overwhelmed with the tasks you need to complete two weeks before the end of the trimester.

The ELL department will use the following grading scale.

A | 96-100% | B+ | 87-89.99% | C+ | 77-79.99% | D+ | 67-69.99% | F | 0-59.99%
A- | 90-95.99% | B | 84-86.99% | C | 74-76.99% | D | 64-66.99% |
| B- | 80-83.99% | C- | 70-73.99 | D- | 60-63.99%

Beginner ELL counts as an elective towards graduation. You must pass this class with a D or higher to get credit so that you can graduate on time with your classmates.
