Grading Policies

 

 

DAILY POINTS:

Daily points are given at the rate of 3 points/day with good classroom participation.  (If these things aren’t observed

your points aren't awarded. When two or three days of classroom points are gone, you are

automatically reduced a letter grade. ) (Remember:  Points can be made up any time if an

appointment is made with instructors.)

 

Classroom participation includes these things: 

 

PREPAREDNESS FOR CLASS: 

(Please try to use restroom on your way to Choir, not after you’ve arrived.)

-Pick up folder/pencil on your way into class. Put away at END of class.
-Sit down immediately as there are many students in this class  

-Fill your water bottle PRIOR to the beginning of choir. Plan ahead.

-No food or gum in classroom. 

-All Backpacks AND CELL PHONES left in designated area.

 

ATTENTIVENESS TO REHEARSAL:

All Singers warm up their voices as rehearsal begins.

-Appropriate attentiveness to director, student teacher, including student director/officers.

-Participation in rehearsal procedures, such as physical and mental readiness, following instructions and directions.

-All singers must use qualities of citizenship such as self-control, responsibility, tolerance of one

another and cooperation.     

-To be a part of an excellent choir, all singers must listen while others are working

out parts. 

 

ASSIGNMENTS:

Several assignments may be given

each quarter.  This will range from 5-30 points each and will be things like

returning a form by a certain date, attending a scheduled SECTIONAL, etc. 

Assignments will almost always be given orally, with a reminder on the board

in our room.  

 

CONCERTS:

Concerts are worth 20 points each.  The number of concerts we

do each year varies, thus the total concert points vary as well.  An Excused

Absence will be granted only if prior consent has been given by instructors. 

When a concert is missed FOR ANY REASON, concert points can be made up by either

making an appointment with choral staff to work in the department for makeup

or an assignment will be given.

In the event of illness, the student works out the due date with the instructor to receive points. 

In addition, each student must wear proper concert

attire to performances, and to be in the Choir Room at the given Call Time. 

     

 

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

 

A.   Choral Music students always have the opportunity to make up points at any time if they lose points.

​

B.  As a member of the CHS Student body, you will use school supplies and this includes

folders and music.  Students will be assigned a folder to share with a partner and in some

choirs, a student may have their own folder/music. 

You are responsible for the folder and it’s contents...or be charged for it if lost. 

 

C.  Using BPS PowerGrade, we will calculate your grade each grading period.  

Every discipline uses the same grading scale at CHS.
