You and only you are responsible for the things you do in class. Part of being responsible is informing your parents of your progress in class. They will know how you are doing every six weeks, however, it is better that they know ahead of time how you are doing instead of waiting for it to be mailed.
The Three Components of Your Grade
30% INB & Personal Management
This grade represents your learning & work habits. It is important to understand the connection between habits and scores on tests and quizzes. Filling in your planner is a part of this grade!

20% Homework QuizzesOn the day an assignment is due, you will be given a short open note homework quiz. These quizzes represent what you know. You will be expected to take homework quizzes even if your assignment is not completed (except for excused absences). Homework quizzes MAY NOT be retaken as you will be given another opportunity to show what you know on unit exams.

50% Exams/EssaysOpportunities will be given for students to retake unit tests. This is built into the structure of my class. However, if a student needs to retake a test outside of the retake window, he may do so either during Advisory or Lunch Study. The higher score will be recorded.
Each unit also has a corresponding essay. See Late Work Policy on the Policies tab. |
