Coach Sparrow's Policies
Homework Policy
Homework will be assigned daily (except for Fridays). Completed homework is due the following day unless otherwise indicated and will be graded on a point system according to the number of correct responses. I do not assign "busy work." Each assignment is intended to provide practice on a newly taught skill.
Homework must be turned in the next day or it will not be accepted for credit. Homework must be turned in at the BEGINNING of your class period. |
Grading Policy
Students will be evaluated on formative assessments (40%) - class work, independent reading, homework, and summative assessments (60%) – quizzes, tests, oral presentation, and projects. Students will receive letter grades of “A,” “B,” “C,” or “I” for incomplete or poor quality class work & projects, quizzes & tests (below 70%). You may redo/resubmit any homework or classwork assignment receiving a grade of "I" within one week of the original grade. An “I” will be reflected on the report card as a “D” or “F.” Some activities will be videotaped or photographed as an instructional tool.
Quiz, test, and project grades will NOT be recorded until they are returned with a parent signature.

Makeup Policy
For each day absent, a student has the equal number of days plus one to make-up any missed assignments. Students who are absent from school on a published assignment due date must turn the assignment in when they return to school and may be subject to a grade penalty. Tests and other make-up work may be completed during lunchtime and/or afterschool by appointment only. Missed summatives and/or test corrections must be completed prior to the next assessment.
On Monday - Thursdays during lunch, I will be available to assist with make-up/catch-up work.
Additional assistance is available by appointment only.
Summative exams will remain open for one week from original test date!
Test makeups will be scheduled at the instructor’s convenience.
Test Corrections must be completed within seven (7) days of being returned for a grade.
