GRADING BREAKDOWN
Every year teachers in Robeson County turn in a grading breakdown that highlights four or more areas that students will be graded on each year, and what percentage those areas are worth (for each subject area). Our grading criteria are turned into the central office and approved before we begin each school year. Below, parents and students will see the current grading breakdown for the school year for Band and Music classes at RSMS.

Please note that late work cannot be accepted 2 days before the end of the grading period unless there are extenuating circumstances. Late work also cannot be accepted after the grading period has ended.
​
All grades are weighted per category. A 100% in one category may not be worth the same as a 100% in another category. For instance, a 100% on a test is not only a huge accomplishment, but it is worth more than a 100% on classwork assignment.
