[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In MCPS, the rule was (though I am dated) you had to attempt an assignment to get the 50%.  If the work was not done, it was still a zero.[/quote]

That's not the rule in FCPS. Nothing lower than 50%.[/quote]

I can assure you, my kid at Madison is definitely receiving zeros for work not turned in.   Missing assignments are a constant struggle.   I see the zeros and how they affect his overall grade until he completes them.  [/quote]

Same.[/quote]

Madison isn't going by the FCPS policy then.

If a student has been given multiple opportunities to complete work and has not done so, and parent contact has been made for major assessments, quizzes or tests (tasks weighted more than 10%), a score equivalent to an F ( i.e. 50 on a 100 point scale) may be entered in the gradebook in accordance with the reasonable late work policy established by the school or teacher teams.

My Madison student’s first AP math test was an F. I think a 25.  There were 4 questions, no partial credit was given. No retakes given either. All high grades since then, no retakes ever, and the 25 is still in the grade book.

Very similar situation at Langley.  Who do I contact?[/quote]
