We have posted our first weighted grade reports in the registration system for both early calendar and traditional calendar courses. Look for a report with this title:
"Fall 2014 First Grade Reports (includes EC) Due Oct. 28, 2014."
Follow this link to see how to access the grade report.
Here is how we weight our grades:
Standard Grading Scale for Block Classes
37.5% (First Grade Report)
37.5% (Second Grade Report)
*Final Exam/Project: 25%
Standard Grading Scale for Yearlong Classes
18.75% (First Grade Report)
18.75% (Second Grade Report)
18.75% (Third Grade Report)
18.75% (Fourth Grade Report)
25% (Final Exam/Project)*
*EOC and CTE Courses
The Final Exam for EOC and CTE courses will be the EOC and VoCATS score. Schools are responsible for the administration of all EOC and CTE tests. For those courses, the grades NCVPS reports to the school will be 75% of the final grade. Schools will score the EOCs and CTEs and average in the remaining 25% to determine the final grade.
*SAT Prep will not have a final exam because of the two-part nature of the course.
All other courses have their final exams or final projects online in the course.
The following fields are on our first weighted grade reports:
Grading Period 1 = All courses (except credit recovery and OCS) will have a numeric grade reported here.
Comment = All instructors will leave a comment.
Sample Grade Report
Grade Report Details:
1. All standard classes will report a progress grade, and teachers will leave a comment for each student.
2. We do not report grades for OCS classes. Classroom teachers determine OCS grades.
3. We do not report grades for credit recovery classes. See the comments section to determine if the student is on pace or not.
4. Even if a student is supposed to be dropped or withdrawn, we will report a grade until the school withdraws the student.
5. We do not report a grade below 60 on our first grading period report.
Be sure to download these reports to see how your students are performing! If you have district-level access, you can see progress of NCVPS students from all of your district schools.
