Grading Policy

ATTENTION!

We are now in our second semester of the 2017-2018 school year. This means scheduling is coming up, testing is coming up, and the year is over half over! There is one other very specific reason I bring this up.

Each course a student takes comes with certain requirements to pass that course. Each grade you see on your student's grade card earns them a specific number of points. There are a certain number of points required to pass each class. In addition to this, there is a certain number of points required in the 2ND SEMESTER to pass each class.

This is good to know! The fourth grading period has a huge impact on whether a student is in danger of failing a class, or not. Make yourselves familiar with the grading policy and let me know if you have any questions!



Lexington Junior High grading policy: (this can also be found in the student handbook).
            
 To pass any FULL YEAR course:
1)      At least three (3) points must be earned for the entire year, AND
2)      At least two (2) points must be earned the second semester.
 
To pass any SEMESTER course:
1)      A passing grade must be earned in at least two of the three marking periods.

POINTS are earned using the following scale:
                A = 4 points
                B = 3 points
                C = 2 points
                D = 1 point
                F = 0 points

Community Resources The holidays are quickly approaching. When we think of the holiday season, we often associate these times with joy and family celebration. Throw in some stress, overeating, and family conflict, and you have the stereotypical holiday celebration! However, the holidays can also be a painful reminder of lost loved ones and the struggles that life brings. Many people struggle with grief, financial hardship, depression, and countless other issues. Special occasions tend to put a spotlight on these struggles. Fortunately, there is help available. Richland County has a number of resources to help people through tough times. First Call of Richland County is a great place to start. I have called many times to get information on food pantries, help with bills, clothing needs, housing questions, etc. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly.

Is it Spring yet?   Are you enjoying our long weekend?  I do not know about you, but these few days have been a huge asset for me to be able to get caught up on some of the work that I needed to do.  I hope that you have also made use of these days and were able to get caught up on anything you were behind on and prepared for the weeks ahead.   Obviously, one challenge of the cold days is that it impacted the PARCC testing schedules.  On Tuesday we will begin the Geometry test. We will also make-up any students that missed a portion of the Algebra test.  A reminder for the 8th grade students, your English testing will begin this week also. There will be three sessions: February 27th, March 3rd and March 5th.  Next week the 7th graders will begin their English testing on March 2nd, March 4th and March 6th. These days are really sneaking up on us! Hopefully you are all making every possible effort to be in school for the testing each day, bu...
