Extra Credit Flex Points

Every student has 15 flex points of extra credit per marking period. Extra credit flex points are given to you because there may be times when you might need them. It is a privilege and not a right, however, to receive flex points, and your flex point privileges may be revoked by me at any time. Flex points are for your use should you so choose, but AT THE END OF THE MARKING PERIOD, YOU CANNOT “CASH THEM IN.” They must be used within the marking period only.

Flex points may be used for the following:

Request from student to teacher: / Flex Points
Bathroom, water fountain or locker visit / 5
Assignment extension / 15
Addition of points to an assignment grade / Varied, but no more than 15, and must be requested via e-mail to Mrs. Abrams within 1 day of receiving assignment.
Request to print an assignment that is due / 15

Behaviors that cause a reduction of flex points:

Behavior / Reduction:
Tardy to class without a pass / 5
Pen, pencil or supply request / 5
Extra handout due to lost paper request / 5
Late work (including uploading!) per day late, effective as soon as deadline is missed. / 5 per day
Dismissal from class / 15
Talking out of turn when the teacher or classmate is talking / 5

IF YOU WANT TO USE ANY OF YOUR FLEX POINTS, YOU MUST DOWNLOAD AND PRINT OUT THE FLEX POINTS TRACKER FROM MY SCHOOLWIRES UNDER EXTRA CREDIT. THIS TRACKER IS YOUR PASS OUT OF CLASS SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO USE YOUR FLEX POINTS, SO IF YOU FORESEE NEEDING TO LEAVE CLASS TO USE THE RESTROOM, GET A DRINK, ETC., IT WOULD BEHOOVE YOU TO PRINT OUT YOUR COPY OF THE POINTS TRACKER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
