Grading Policy:

In accordance with the District's grading policy, a student's grade will be determined as follows:

60% - Formative Grades (homework, classwork, warm ups,...)

40% - Summative Grades (tests, quizzes, major projects,...)

10 points will be deducted for each day an assignment is turned in late up to three days. After the third day, a zero will be earned. 

A failed assignment may be retaken/corrected one time for a maximum grade of a 70 within five days of receiving the grade.

Parent Gradebook:

It is highly encouraged that parents actively monitor student grades through Parent Gradebook. Visit the VISD homepage to locate how to register an account. 

Absences/Make-Up Work:

It is the student's responsibility to obtain, complete, and turn in any work that has been missed due to being absent. If a student is expected to be out for 3 or more days, please contact the office to request work. The student will have the number of days absent to make up the work missed. If a student knows they will be out, please ask for the work in advance. 

Wildcat Time:

Wildcat Time is available in the Library on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday until 4:30 for makeup work and help with assignments.
