Grades & Such

Hi, all!  Grades will not be complete until noon Friday, so please do not post or email (or text) us about your grades.  You can see us on Monday, and we'll rectify any issues then.  We need the weekend to relax!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you're one or two percent away from the next highest grade, please don't ask us to change it.  Sadly, there has to be a cut-off somewhere, and if you did not make it, you did not make it...period.  You forget that 1% is worth of a nice chunk of points...not one or two.  Believe us when we say: if grades were about love, you ALL would have an A.  Unfortunately, it's not - it's a reflection of your work, and we will not cheat or compromise just to make you happy.

FOR THE NEW QUARTER:  We will NOT accept late work any longer.    If your work is late, it's a zero.  If you have an absence, you have two days to get an admit AND submit it with your make-up work.  Otherwise, we will not take it, and it will be a ZERO.  This also includes tardies to class (excused or unexcused); late work is a ZERO.  The same goes for school related trips - all work and tests MUST be completed BEFORE you attend your trip.

Furthermore, any grade change forms MUST be submitted within a week that the grade is given/entered.   From here on out, check your grades daily, and be sure to submit your grade change forms with the proper documentation.

To reiterate what's in the syllabus - if you are caught cheating, whether it's one question or the whole assignment/assessment, you will receive a ZERO for the assignment.  Cheating on a project/test will result in an F in conduct and a 3 in effort.  Cheating on HW or the like, will result in an automatic C in conduct and 2 in effort.  It is written in the syllabus you and parents signed at the beginning of the year, so review it one more time and BE SURE you understand the ramifications of cheating/lying.

OK, love you.
