Uniform Grading System

• There is no perfect formula for determining the proper amount of academic study for each student. It is not unreasonable to expect a student to routinely have academic study each night and some weekends. • When completing projects, papers, and/or preparing for examinations, the amount of academic study may increase. Academic Study Time

• The time required for completion of academic study will vary with student ability, class schedule, and proper budgeting of time. • Students can expect to do homework and/or study each night of the five-day school week and on some weekends. This will vary according to the student’s diligence and the rigor of the student’s schedule. (8 th Grade 80 -90 minutes) • Students enrolled in honors classes may experience an increase in academic study. Academic Study Time
