Grades and JMC

For 7th and 8th grade GENERAL math, please remember that I use a 12 point scale in the JMC grading system and the percents you see are not accurate.   In fact, the only thing you should really pay attention to is the grade.  If they got 12, that is an A+, 11=A, 10=A-, and on down the line with a 0=F.   X=they did not have to do the assignment and no score means that it is due, but your child has not turned in in for some reason.  Some of you might not be happy with the MM scores.  Please know that the students have the OPTION to redo those problems missed for a slightly higher grade if they originally got a D or F (2 or 0 in JMC) for a grade. They have one week to complete this or it is then too late.

Grades for Algebra students are strickly by points and percents earned using the grading scale as published in the handbook.  Low grades this early in the year as due to lower MM scores.  Practicing basic computation at home may help increase this score if that is a goal.
