Please check your PowerSchool account regularly and actively monitor your progress in class.  Utilize our Week at a Glance to see what assignments are due and if there are upcoming tests, quizzes, or projects.

There will be three categories of grades:  Summative Grades, Formative Grades, and Individual Practice.  Your final Summative Average will be weighted 50% of your total marking period grade, your Formative Average will be weighted 40% of your total marking period grade, and your Individual Practice will be weighted 10% of your total marking period grade.  This is based on the Hamilton Township BOE 2015-2016 Grading Policy.
