Grading Scale:
Students will be graded on a scale that is in listed with their student handbook.
Attendance: Poor attendance could cause a reduction in grades or course failure. Please refer to the Student Handbook for District Policy regarding attendance. Student participation is an essential aspect of attendance in class.
Make-ups:In the event a student is absent, all work is due the following day they return. If a student has missed a test/quiz, that student will make up this work the following day after an absence from 2:15-2:55 PM. It is the responsibility of the student to approach the instructor to make up work. In the event of extenuating circumstances, the teacher/student will work out a compromise if the following day is not possible to complete the work.
Use of Online Grades:It is imperative that you periodically check your grades online. If there are any comments, concerns, or questions, please approach the instructor in a timely fashion, not the final day of a marking period/semester.
