• Teachers will post grades in a timely manner

The value of the revision is left to the determination of the teacher.   The student must complete and submit the revision to the teacher before the time that skill is next assessed to receive any credit. The teacher will provide students with feedback for revision in the “comments” section of Genesis.
• Teachers will engage in conversation with parents when a student’s grade drops below normal for that student and when a student receives a low grade on an assessment
• Students who do complete assignments will be assigned an Academic Detention per teacher’s discretion
• Teachers will specifically name each assignment on Genesis and add details to the “description” when needed.
• Extra credit will not be provided; bonus points on any assignment will not allow for a grade to exceed 100.
• A standalone  “participation” grade/category will not be a part of any middle school gradebook
• All assignments in Genesis should show logical progression from a series of Classworks/Homework→Quizzes/Small Projects →Large Assessments (Labs, Writing pieces, tests, large projects, etc.)
• For all large projects, labs and writing pieces students will be provided with a grading rubric well in advance.  When possible, students will take ownership in the development of the rubrics and be encouraged to utilize them as a reflection tool.  
• All rubrics will be based on the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for the grade level and subject area.  Social Studies and Science teachers are encouraged to utilize the NJSLS ELA Companion Standards for History, Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects for grades 6 through 8.
