LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL (M. 6/8-Th. 6/11):

• If you have a 75% or higher on Mon. 6/8-you will receive an A for the Semester and do not have to do the extra credit or make-up assignments

• If you have a 60-75% on Mon. 6/8-you may CHOOSE to do the extra credit or make-up assignments to get to a 75% (A). Otherwise, you will receive “Credit” for the semester.

• If you DO NOT HAVE ABOVE a 60% on Mon. 6/8-you MUST do the extra-credit and make-up work or you WILL NOT receive Credit for the semester.

Choose Wisely-You need my class to graduate (Summer School is still happening and it is Remote, as well) and you have an opportunity to REALLY BOOST your GPA

M. 5/18: Announcement:

F. 5/22-NO SCHOOL (NO QUIZ THIS WEEK)

We are ALSO off on Monday, 5/25 for Memorial Day.

We will resume Remote Learning on Tuesday, 5/26 🙂

Hi All, Just a friendly reminder that the grading system for Semester 2 (for the entire District) is as follows

• MP4 will count as normal, as we reported grades before shifting to Remote Learning.
• MP5 will be dropped.
• MP6 will be graded on a modified system (see below):

75% or higher=”A”
60-75%=CREDIT
59% or lower= NO CREDIT

NOTHING from the time between 3/16 (when we left school) and 4/20 (when we resumed grading) counted against you. It only HELPED your grade (or it was dropped).

What that means FOR YOU–

You MUST have a 60% to receive credit for this Marking Period. Because my course is one you need to graduate, you would need to make it up in summer school (which will likely be Remote, as well) and costs money.

SCHOOL ENDS JUNE 11th.

PLEASE make it a point to reach out if you are currently below 60% and arrange a way to make up missing work. I will do all I am permitted to do to help you get there, but you must put in the effort as well.

The ONLY way you can be excused from work is to have a documented illness on file or a documented case of lack of resources, with the District. If that is the case you MUST reach out so I can help you with that process.

This week, we are moving on to Unit 10 (Chpt 22): The Vietnam War and Protest Movements
