Assessment of Progress

Students will be given 5 pts daily for being on time. If the student is tardy they will lose all 5pts. Additionally students will be given 15 pts daily for completing the daily task/assignment. If the student does not complete the assignment during class they can come that day during lunch or after school (Even days) to complete it for full credit. Once the school day is done and the student has not completed the daily task/assignment the student will get half of the 15 pts for turning it in late. If a student is absent (that is an excused absent) they will have two weeks to make up the work for full credit. For excused absences the 5pts for attendance does not count against their grade.

Grades are based on assignments, projects, quizzes, tests, attendance, and class participation.
