Grading —
Grades are cumulative by semester. Progress reports demonstrate a “snap shot” of student grades at that particular moment; whereas, the Semester Report Card is the permanent grade for that semester’s class.
Work in this course will fall into three categories: Practice (warm-up work, notes, daily assignments, or homework) Assessments (Quizzes, Tests, Projects), and the Final Project/Exam. Other tasks may be added at a later date but will always be categorized as practice or assessment.
Overall Grade Breakdown Grading Scale:
60% Classroom Assignments
20% Projects
20% Final Semester Project/Exam
A = 90% - 100%
B = 80% - 89%
C = 70% - 79%
D = 60% - 69%
F = 59% and below
Late Work Policy—
If a student has an excused absent, the student has as many days to make up those assignments as were missed.
If the student has an unexcused absence, the student has one day to either make up the assignment for up to
75% credit or schedule an appointment with the instructor to make up the work. It is the student's responsibility to communicate with the teacher the first day they return; if the student fails to do so late work may not be accepted.

SWEEP —
Students are considered absent if they are 10 or more minutes late to a single class period. Students arriving within the first 10 minutes of class will be counted tardy. Students who are more than 10 minutes late are marked absent. Any work not submitted the day it is due—if the student is on campus, will result in work being late. Bottom line: Be here. Be on time.

Behaviors that disrupt the learning environment will result in the following consequences:
- Warning from the teacher
- Student Conference
- Parent Contact
- ASD
- Referral to administration & Parent contact
NOTE: At any time, the teacher may decide that the behavior being displayed by a student requires skipping steps 1 or 2 and going straight to 3.
