How are student grades determined?
Summative Assessments -- 60%
- unit tests
- projects
- performance tasks
Formative Assessments -- 20%
- quizzes
- exit slips
Labs -- 15%
Classwork and guided practice -- 5%
- Additional practice that is graded based on accuracy.
*Students who do poorly on an assessment may retake the assessment after correcting mistakes.
If you need extra learning time:
Option 1: I am available nearly every Monday night from 2:30 - 3:30. Please let me know when you are staying to make sure I'm in my room.
Option 2: North Middle School offers A+ Homework Help. This is available to any NMS student every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, in the library, from 2:30 – 3:30 (then students are dismissed to either parent pick-up or the activity bus). Students may get a permission slip from the guidance office for this. After that permission slip is returned, a student may attend as often as they like…they just have to have work to do (from any subject) if they stay. Student tutors from NHS come and work with our students during this time; there are also usually two teacher supervisors in the library at this time.
