Grading Policy
Major grades will be 60% of your average.
All other grades will be 40% of your average.
According to the GCCISD grading policy, late assignments other than homework will result in a ten-point reduction per day for a maximum of three days, after which a zero will be given. This means that anything classified as homework by the teacher will not be accepted late. Board-defined extenuating circumstances will be given special consideration.
Make-up Policy
Any assignment due the day a student is absent is due the day of return. If tutoring is needed, then students may schedule a time to stay after school. According to GCCISD, major grades should be made up within three class days.
