FAQs

Homework is now used to practice skills rather than tasks to be completed. Homework now helps make students accountable for their own learning. 

For example: 

• Student A: Does not understand the material from in-class work.  Student A completes all the homework and gets feedback from the teacher on performance.  Student A uses those materials to study for assessments and receives higher grades on his assessments because of the time spent on homework.

An NA can mean 1 of 3 things:

• Not assessed--Your student was absent and needs to make it up
• No attempt--which means your student was in class but refused to do the task
• Not applicable--Made an attempt but there was not enough information to score what they submitted

• An NA will convert to a zero in the gradebook which really impacts the grade.  

Contact your or your student’s teacher. A system should be put into place in order to improve scores.

It will not. Letter grades are still assigned and converted to GPA points.
