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

Focus

Do you have trouble focusing? Here is a fun tip that ANYONE can use, at ANY TIME! All you need is a pen and 1 minute! Step 1: Find a pen or pencil. Step 2: Hold it up to your face, about 1 foot away. Step 3: Focus on the end of the pencil for 1 minute (setting a timer will help you to avoid being distracted). For this one minute of time, do not allow yourself to think about anything else! Just focus on the end of the pencil! This would be great to try before beginning your homework, studying, at the beginning of a big game or race, anytime! I would love to know what everyone thinks of this. I will be trying it also:) I challenge you to use this trick at least once this week! (It might be good to try this before or during the Math & Science testing:) One Minute Life Hack Will Make You Do Everything Better!
