Grading
Hello everyone! I’ve gotten a few e-mails lately from students who are anxious to get their late work graded. I just wanted to thank those of you who are patient during this time.
School is the main priority for all of you because at your age, it’s your job to do well in school and learn what you can while you are here. Please be conscious of the fact that your teachers have other things going on, though. I am not just your teacher. I have many responsibilities other than being your classroom teacher that keep me extremely busy on a day-to-day basis.
My classroom policy for late work has always been set in stone, and with remote learning it has not changed. I accept late work throughout the entire quarter up until a date that I set (June 8th). I communicate the date to you and you are allowed to turn in whatever you want until that date. HOWEVER, if it is late work, I grade it when I have time and it is not high on my list of priorities. Let’s be honest — if you’re turning it in late, it wasn’t high on your priority list, either. My only promise to you is that it will be graded before I submit your report card grade.
So, thank you for your patience. There is no need to e-mail me to ask me to grade your late work. I will do it when I do it, and I appreciate your understanding on that!
However, please DO email me if you are stuck on something, need somebody to talk to, want to tell me something good or bad that happened to you, or need my support with something. I always have time for that and it is very high on my priority list!
