Department Management and Grading Policy:
Each student's grade will be determined using the following percentages:

10% - homework for practice and preparation
60% - formative assessments
30% - summative assessments

Policy regarding late and missing work:

Each assignment will have a due date. This is the date by which the assignment is to be submitted. If not submitted by the due date, the assignment will be graded and the grade dropped one letter.

The deadline is the last day an assignment will be accepted for a grade. In some cases, the due date and the deadline will be the same. Work not submitted by the deadline will earn 0%.

For work to receive credit, it must meet the minimum required standard for the foreign language department: 50% of the assignment must be reasonably attempted according to the teacher's professional judgement.

MCPS Foreign Language Curriculum and Information

On December 10, 1996 the Montgomery County Board of Education approved the awarding of credit to middle school students for high school level courses in foreign language taken in middle school. Credit is granted to middle school students who successfully complete foreign language high school level courses while in middle school. These middle school students must successfully complete the same FINAL EXAMINATIONS as high school students at the end of each course for which credit is granted.
