Grading Each teacher is expected to communicate his or her grading policy and how grades are weighted in his/her class. Teachers will take an adequate number of grades each six weeks in order to fairly evaluate the student's learning. A six weeks exam or a unit test may be administered as part of the final six weeks grade. Benchmark test performance may also be used as part of a six weeks average. Semester grades will be computed as follows: multiply each six weeks grade by two, add the semester exam grade and divide by seven. The result will be a semester grade with a final exam weighted approximatelyj 15%. All junior high scools will administer a written semester exam in every course offered in the curriculum, including electives, boys and girls athletics, Pe, etc. A student's grade in academic areas will not be altered because of his/her behavior. Behavior will be reflected in the Citizenship grade on the report card. The junior high student's citizenship grade will be based on the followng. acceptance of responsibility courtesy of speech and manners dependability respect for the rights of other promptness care o property good use of time following directions observation of rules of behaviors B.A.S.E. Camp (Academic Detention) At Boles Junior High, student success is our top priority. Our teachers and staff work hard everyday to assist every child in reaching his/her greatest potential. With all of our hard work and dedication, we still need every student to first take responsibility for his/her own learning. In an effort to promote the importance of responsibility and academic excellence, Boles will be providing an academic detention which is designed to assist in ensuring success for every student at Boles Junior High. BASE Camp stands for “Boles Academic Success and Enrichment.” The concept of this intervention is as follows: students who do not complete homework/class work may be assigned to BASE Camp by their teachers to complete their assignments. When students choose not to complete assignments, they miss valuable practice for important skills needed in order to be successful. BASE Camp is an opportunity we offer for our students that have missing or incomplete assignments to complete their assignments, get the needed practice, and receive a grade other than a zero in a supervised environment outside of the regular school day. Homework and class work support will be provided by our “Highly Qualified” teachers from Boles Monday - Thursday. It will begin at 4:00 p.m. and end at 5:00 p.m. No student will be released early. Students will be given the opportunity to complete any/all assignments within the one hour period. No further extension will be granted. BASE Camp doors close at 4:00. Any student arriving after 4:00 will not be permitted to enter and a zero will be given for all work assigned. Refusal to attend academic detention will result in a zero being given for any/all assignments in which the detention was assigned. There will not be another opportunity to complete an assignment which was refused initially Parents will be contacted if your child has been assigned to BASE Camp for choosing not to complete class work or homework. Buses will be provided at 5:00 PM for those students who qualify to ride AISD transportation. All students not riding the bus are expected to be picked up no later than 5:15. BASE Camp Schedule: Monday: Social Studies/History Tuesday: Science Wednesday: English/Electives Thursday: Math Students in the Pre-AP Program: Students enrolled in the Pre-AP program at Boles are held to a high standard and are expected to adhere to deadlines in all their Pre-AP classes.
