Grade System

Overview

There is a grading system based on earning points. At the end of every 3 week period, points are totaled for a grade and sent home for parents' approval. Parents then sign the grade summary. Students are to return it to me the following day for credit. Three of these 3-week grades combine to yield a quarter grade.

Absences

How to be absent:

 Your children have been asked to call phone buddies to find out assignments when they have been sick and to try to have some of the work done when they return.

All work should be made up - one day late for each day's absence. Please monitor makeup's. Many good students get confused and don't recover completely from absences.
