Grading Guidelines

At Cypress Ridge High School, it is our focus to work side-by-side with all students in order to reach the highest levels of academic success possible.

Grades Recorded in Gradebook will:

• reflect mastery of the course objectives
• provide weekly, timely feedback to students so they have time to modify understanding prior to receiving the next grade over content
• provide specific feedback to the teacher relative to his/her instructional practices and will be used to guide instruction

CHEATING/ACADEMIC DISHONESTY

• For cheating offenses students will receive either an academic or behavior consequence:
  • Academic consequence: The student will receive a 0 for that assignment and will not have the opportunity to redo that assignment.
  • Behavior consequence: The student will receive an office referral and will be allowed to redo the assignment on which they were caught cheating

LATE WORK

• A penalty of 10 points off per day will be assessed up to 3 days or a max penalty of 30 points. Failure to turn in the assignment by the final day of the progress report window (Friday at 2:40) will result in a zero. Exceptions will be made for students working with a staff member in a campus intervention.
