Grading:

All grading is done on a points system. Points are assigned and the points earned are what determine the percentage (according to the grading scale).  No assignment or test is more important than another-DO ALL OF YOUR WORK! EARN THOSE POINTS!

A=90-100%

B=80-89%

C=70-79%

D=60-69%

F=0-59%

*Current grades are posted to Zangle each week.*Parents-youcan check your students grade at any time via ParentConnect. *Don't forget: Parent grade check is every 3 weeks!

Make-up/Late work/Retakes: All students are required to complete all assignments. Students are responsible for getting make-up/late workfrom student station. Absences have a 1 for 1 policy (each day gone =one day to make up work for full credit). Latework is automatically 50% off. No show work will be “ZAPPED”. Retakesfor D/F tests must happen within 1 week of original test. See me for arrangements.

Discipline Policy:

I believe that every student can learn. I am here to facilitate that learning. In order for that to happen, we must have mutual respect and safety in the classroom. Please refer to my procedure list for specific policies and class rules. Consequences range due to student behavior, however they will include (but are not limited to):

• Warning/Reminders
• Behavior Log/Letter
• Parent phone call home (either from your student or myself)
• Detention (lunch/after school)
• Saturday School/ACP Placement
• Referral to administration
