Grading Criteria: Riverwood adheres to the Fulton County grading policy. A wide variety of assessments are used to gauge the success of Riverwood students. These assessments can be formative or summative. At Riverwood International Charter School, assessment is viewed as a continuous process allowing students, parents and teachers accurate information about student achievement. In this class, teachers utilize formative assessments to determine student understanding. These assessments often occur throughout each unit. At the end of each unit, summative assessments are utilized to gauge student understanding. A MYP assessment is also used to show how the student has performed against the MYP assessment criteria for the unit. All incomplete assignments will be averaged as a “0.” Traditional grade reports are sent home every 6 weeks. As an International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program candidate school, RICS will use the program’s assessment criteria to report student progress. The students will be assessed at least once per semester against each of the four criteria. Reports of these scores will be sent at the end of each semester. The total semester grade will be an average of the following parts: Overall Grade % Grading Category Category Breakdown 50% PROJ Class Projects - All studio projects assigned per the 5 units of study and Quizzes 30% JOURN Journal Assignments – All Investigative Journal assignments and mini-labs 10% PART Participation – Folder checks, Homework, and Studio Clean-up 10% FINAL Final Exam Fulton County uses the following grading scale: 90-100 = A 80-89 = B 70-79 = C 69-Below = F ASSIGNMENT COMPLETION AND DUE DATES: Students will be given time to complete each studio assignment and will be given advance notice of due dates for both homework and class work.
