Entering Grades Procedures – Bell City Middle/High School
Bell City Middle and High School teachers will use the following procedures when entering grades into JCampus (WebPams):
Categories: Teachers will use the categories (Formative and Summative) to label assessments. |
|
· Formative represents the student’s effort in classwork · Summative represents the student’s mastery of the content.
|
This information is represented in a pie chart in the Student Progress Center.
|
E – Excused –the student is excused from the assignment · The missing score will not calculate into the student’s average I – Incomplete – the student misses an assignment due to extended illness · The missing score will calculate as a 0 in the student’s average X – No Score – the student failed to complete the assignment but it can be made up · The missing score calculates as a 0 until the makeup score is entered. 0– Zero –the student earns a 0 and the assignment cannot be made up · The score will calculate as a 0 - the student may not receive full credit (teacher discretion) Blank – No Score – grades not entered by teacher or no score on extra credit When entering grades, teachers should enter a score or letter (E,I,X). Blanks should only be for items not graded yet. |
Points Earned/Points Possible: High School students:
Student grades are calculated by points earned divided by points possible
Example 1: Student A scores 5/10 on an assignment. The grade book reflects an F (50%) on that assignment. Student B scores 0/10 on an assignment. The grade book reflects an F (0%) on that assignment. · Student A has earned 5 pts that will calculate into his overall average. · Student B earned 0 pts.
|
Example 2: · Student B has several A’s but earned 0 pts for 2 assignments. His average is 63 (D). · Student A has a mixture of grades, but has earned pts for each assignment. His average is 83 (B).

As per CPSB Grading Policy (page 92):
When a grade is recorded, the grade should be labeled with the date the grade was earned. (Ex. Record a test grade on the date on which the test was given, not the date on which it was graded). In addition all grades MUST be identified/labeled with what GLE/content/skill is being assessed.
Grading Regarding Absences (CPSB Policy) · A student who is absent five (5) or more days in any 9-wk period shall receive an “I” at the end of 3wks, 6wks and each 9wk period. · The student can make up the work during the next Nine Week Period. · If he/she fails to do so, the incomplete grade (I) automatically becomes an “F.” |
It is the responsibility of the teacher to inform the student of the deadline for any makeup work. · If a student is absent less than five (5) days, the student should be given a reasonable amount of time to complete the assignments. A reasonable amount of time will be determined through the collaborative efforts of the principal, counselor, teacher, parent and student. |
