In an attempt to better communicate with parents and to hold my students more accountable for their daily work, I have changed the way that grades will be posted in Skyward.
You will now see only two categories of assignments ...
- Assessments, which includes all GRADED assignments (quizzes, tests, projects, etc)
- Homework, which includes daily assignments that I check for completeness only
The assignments in the Homework category will count 0% towards a students grade. Scores are posted in this category to provide parents with more information on the student's daily work. Remember, these assignments are NOT graded - the posted score simply reflects the amount of work the student completed for that assignment. It is the student's responsibility to secure additional answers not provided in class and to ask questions (or seek additional assistance) for problems/topics they do not fully understand.
If you have questions regarding this chance in my grading procedures, feel free to contact me via e-mail - masondg@ilstu.edu.
