Beginning this school year, the Math Department will be developing a new grading system that holds students accountable for mastering topics, encourages practice and creates transparency in the grading process. There will be several math concepts that students will be required to master. To do so, students and teachers will continually rework those lessons until the student has scored at least a 70% on that subject matter. North will provide several wrap around services for students to help ensure their success. For more information about the new grading policies click here.
