Each
student’s six weeks grade will be averaged as follows:
I. Participation Grade 50% (or 70%*)
Participation is the key to our success. Each week a
student may earn a participation grade of a total of 100 points. Therefore, in
a six-week grading period, there will be the possibility of each student
earning the total of 6 participation grades totally 100 points each. The
average daily class participation grade will be around 20 points.
The daily participation grade will be determined by
the student’s level of participation during class (on-task behavior, posture,
singing, etc.).
Common deductions from the daily participation grade
are:
No
pencil –10 points
No
music – 10 points
Incorrect
Posture – 10 points
Time out – 25
points
Office
referral – all points
II. Concert and Rehearsal Attendance 30% *
Participation
in rehearsals and performances outside the normal school hours is a necessary
part of the choral curriculum. Please refer to the information in this handbook
concerning excused absences for rehearsal and concerts. A total of 100 points
for each concert and extra rehearsal will be awarded.
An unexcused absence will result in no
points earned for this category.
III. Assignments and Tests 20% (or 30%*)
Assignments
will be completed and test administered to monitor the progress in the subject.
Special emphasis will be placed on monitoring individual sight-reading skills
through audio taped testing in the ensemble hall.
* In
the case of a six-week which does not include any concerts, performances, or
extra rehearsals, the six-week grade will be averaged with this formula:
Daily
Participation Average 70% + Assignments and Tests Average 30% = Six-Week
