G RADING
S CALE :
We
will
follow
the
county-wide
grading
scale
for
core
classes:
A
=
100
-
90
B
=
80-89
C
=
70-79
D
=
60-69
F
=
Below
60
Following
these
guidelines
will
help
you
to
succeed
in
Sixth-Grade
Math.
It
will
also
help
to
"streamline"
our
class
period
so
that
we
will
have
more
time
for
the
challenging,
creative,
and
fun
activities
I
have
planned
for
us.
Please
remember
that
YOU
are
ultimately
responsible
for
your
own
success.
I
will
do
everything
I
can
to
help
you
achieve
this!
Please
come
to
me
with
any
of
your
questions
or
concerns.
I
am
looking
forward
to
a
GREAT
year
together;
I
hope
you
are
too!
