How do I know what my grade is?
or
When to I get my grade?  
1.  HOW TO FIND OUT THE GRADE/SCORE on an assignment, or overall grade:  I use the PowerSchool online grading program.  You will be able to enter the computer program anytime to see what scores have been earned for assignments, as well as overall grade. I send emails with a feature 
2.  WHEN to find out the grade/score depends on the assignment. 
  • Monthly turn-in work packets:  Two weeks from the turn-in day.
  • Monthly tests/quizzes taken on time: One week after the testing period ends (so by Friday of the first week in the next month).  However, I score 95% of tests much sooner than that, and usually within two or three days.  
  • If a test is taken as a make-up or a late test (reminder: late test = 20% penalty), then the test will be graded when I get to it...it goes to the bottom of the priority list.  Usually I still score such tests relatively quickly (within one to three days), but it might be a week or so.  It depends primarily on how busy that week is.  
  • Extra credit: it will be recorded and viewable in the gradebook in one or two weeks after the extra credit deadline (which is always the Thursday AFTER the monthly turn-in day).    
Late Work
1. You must talk to me about a week before about any accommodations, in the event you have a REASONABLE excuse for why you cannot turn in work on-time, if you do not want a penalty for bringing in late work​. You and/or your parent must verify and talk to me personally to work out details on why you're having to turn in work late. We are fairly flexible here at Mount Everest Academy, but that should not mean you can turn in work much later than the due date without a good reason why, without some kind of penalty. If your situation is fairly unique it must be something myself, other staff, members, and our counselor, Mr. Zappala have known and discussed and worked out with you and your family, ahead of time. 
2. LATE Turn-in Policy (if you're not excused): 
  • 30% off final grade on assignment for being within 1 school/coversheet-month late of the due date.
  • 50% off final grade on assignment for being over 1 school/coversheet-month late of the due date.
