GRADING:
Your grade will be based on the following:
Exams, notes & notebook grades, daily assignments.
Art and music will be weighted equal for the semester.
Grading scale is as follows:
90% = A, 80% = B, 70% = C, 60% = D, Below 60% = F
IF YOU ARE ABSENT:
YOU ARE STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MATERIAL.
If you miss notes, borrow them from another student.
If you miss several days in a row, use the website for make-up notes.
Time given corresponds to time length of time absent.
(1 day absent = 1 day to make up work missed)
This is school policy.
