Each quarter’s grade for all students in grades 1 through 8 is comprised of:

• Two or more skills assessments, aligned to New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards for Technology and International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Standards for Students. The 2019-20 SKILLS Rubric Gr1-8 below will be used for evaluating classwork.
• Two participation assessments (mid-quarter and end-of-quarter). Refer to the 2019-20 RUBRICs below for assessment criteria.

In some cases, students in grades six through eight may have one skills assessment in a quarter.
Kindergarten students will be assessed for skills and participation at mid-quarter and end-of-quarter. Please refer to the 2019-20 Kindergarten Skills Rubric below.

All assessments are weighted equally.

All assessments are designed to be completed within the allotted class time. Most assignments are multi-week, up to 6 – 8 classes for older students.  Students in grades 5 through 8 may need to complete work at home in the event of an absence or other missed class time.

Gum chewing in the Lab will not be tolerated.
Chewing gum will result in detention.
This is the warning.

Grades 5, 6, 7, 8

Any work missing on the due date will result in a ‘60’. The grade will be adjusted once the assignment is submitted, though full credit will not be earned. 

In the event of an absence, students are expected to continue any Google Classroom assignments that are in progress at the time of the absence.
