Grading & Report Cards

Hogg Grading Practices

  • All grades are to be directly linked to student mastery on specific standards.
  • Grades are to be entered in PowerTeacher Pro on a weekly basis and students are to receive one grade per week for single blocked classes and two grades per week for double blocked classes.
  • To ensure consistent grading practice across classes, where two or more teachers are instructing the same course, common assessments are to be taken for a grade and must be the same.
  • For all summative assessments (common assessments, unit tests), any student who scores below an 80 may request to retake the assessment AFTER the skills/content have been retaught by the teacher. The retake is to occur within two weeks of the initial assessment date. The new test grade is to be entered in PowerTeacher Pro in the retake column and will replace the first test grade.
  • For all class assignments and formative assessments, if a student requests an opportunity to make up or redo the assignment or formative assessment, the teacher shall comply as long as the request is made within one week of when the grade was recorded in PowerTeacher Pro. The previous grade will be replaced with up to an 80.
  • Students shall not be given the opportunity to make up or redo homework unless they are absent.
  • Notes are to be entered into PowerTeacher Pro in the Modification blank for any student who receives modified assignments or assessments, including up not limited to extended time, oral administration, and shorted assignments.
  • Each teacher must also include a Citizenship and Effort grade utilizing the Excellent (E), Satisfactory (S), Poor (P), and Unacceptable (U) Conduct system. Most students should earn an “S” for their conduct. “E” is reserved for students who demonstrate exceptional behavior consistently over the course of a grading cycle. A “P” or “U” in conduct, on the other hand, indicates a serious disciplinary issue in class that must be addressed immediately. If a student earns a “P” or “U” during a given grading cycle, the teacher will call the parent to discuss the conduct issue and, if necessary, arrange a parent conference to remedy the issue.
  • Students are allowed and expected at Hogg MS to make up work when absent. When the student returns to class, it is the student’s responsibility to ask the teacher for all missed work and a date for such completion. As a rule of thumb, two days are generally enough for each day absent.
