Dear Voyager Students and Parents,
I have posted midterm exam grades for all students whose exams I have in my possession. Unfortunately, I do not have the tests to grade for a few students in 5th and 6th hour, and I apologize to students who will have to wait until the first week of January to learn their results.
To see your grade, you need to look at the comment on the midterm assignment on Gradelink. We are posting midterm grades this way to make sure they don't affect your 2nd marking period grade.
**A note on the grading scale:**
I went back and made some adjustments to the first and second period midterm exam grades; the letter grade indicated next to your percentage is now based on the 10-point grading scale I have been using in my class all year. I will convert the percentages at the end of the marking period to reflect the letter grades earned in the second marking period and the final exam.
For instance, if your score on the midterm reads "90% A-," this means that you earned 90% of the points possible after the curve, and that I would consider this an A- on the 10-point grading scale I use on tests and quizzes in class. At the end of the marking period, I would enter this as a "93" (A-) on the official report card to make it fit Voyager's standard 7-point grading scale; I would not enter it as a "90" (B+).
