Progress Report 6
Progress Report Grades are available in Skyward on Friday, 2/20/20. It is imperative that all students and parents are logging into Skyward 1-2 times a week to stay aware of what students grades are in all classes. If you do not have a Skyward account please select the link below for assistance with Skyward and Schoology.
Grades, Late Work, Extra Credit, and Grade Repair
Teachers have five school days to post a grade in Skyward after an assignment is due. The time frame can increase for some assignments including, lab reports, written essays and papers, and projects. The extra time allows the teacher to provide feedback along with the grade.
Late Work:
Teachers have been doing their best to leave the gradebook open so that students can turn in work late, past the campus policy. Beginning with Progress Report 7 the teachers will be strictly adhering to the district and campus policy for grading and late work. The teacher will accept late work for up to three days after the initial due date, and there is a ten point penalty per day for the late assignment. After the three days the teachers will not accept the work, unless the student has an excused absence. Students adhering to the late work policy is imperative for their success as they prepare to attend HCC in the fall semester.Extra Credit:
Opportunities for extra credit are determined by the teacher and must be offered to all students. It is not a requirement that teachers provide extra credit. Doing so does not prepare students for the expectations of HCC classes. Extra credit is not intended to replace student's missing work. If the assignment is not turned in according to the late work policy it will not be accepted.
The FBISD Student and Parent Handbook can provide more information about the three items above.
Grade Repair:
This is offered in core content areas and allows students who have failed an assignment (not an assessment) to repair their failing grade and avoid loss of credit. This is done virtually and is assigned by the student's teacher. Please contact your student's teacher for more information about the program, and read the flyer attached to the e-mail.
