[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The grade for the quarter should be reflected if the last graded assignment was indeed the final one.  A week or two later Edline will post grades for the marking period.  Final exam grades show up on the report card, but some teachers will post this as an "ungraded" assignment on Edline so students can determine their final grade for the semester. Final exams are 25% of the semester grade.  Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I am pretty sure this is how it works.[/quote]

Final semester grades are figured out with a formula based on the letter.

So, for example, my kid had a class where he got a C (Q1) an A (Q2) and an E on the final (yeah, I'm still puzzled by that one too).  That comes out to a C, regardless of whether he got a 59 or a 1 on the final, because CAE = C.

Wow!  So two B's even both at 89.0 can never equal an A ???[/quote]

Correct. Happened to my DC in 2 classes last semester. The curse of the 89.4. Ruined an otherwise nearly perfect GPA. But DC did get the benefit of teacher flexibility a couple of times. An A, B, B was an A.[/quote]
