12/29/11

There appears to be confusion on grading. Allow me to clarify.

PLAS employs a 40-40-20 system on grades. First nine weeks = 40 % , Second nine weeks = 40 % and semester final exams = 20 %. The only grade that appears on the college transcript is the average of these three grades.

We will walk through an example. Student X makes an 80 on the first nine weeks grade , an 83 on the second nine weeks grade and a 73 on the final exam. The overall average would be 79.8 rounded up to 80. The only grade showing on the college transcript would be the 80 average.

We will be back January 3 to answer any further questions that need clarifying. Teacher e mail accounts are only accessible through the school mainframe so any individual replies may not occur until 1/3/12.
