Hello All,
First of all I want to thank those of you who took the time over Thanksgiving Break to complete the optional assignments. I appreciate your effort and look forward to seeing what you came up with. I am continuing to accept assignments up until Monday.
As we look towards Final Exams, I thought I should post a copy of the school's Exam Exemption Letter and policy.
Any student who qualifies for Exam Exemption has been given an exempted 0 in the Final Exam Assignment in the Gradebook. Every student whose Final Exam grade is "Not yet graded" in the gradebook, must take their Final or earn a 0 on 15% of their grade.
As a reminder, grades are still being submitted and projects are being finalized. Any student who qualified for exemption, if their grade drops below an 80, then their grade will be what they've earned, even if that means lower than 80. If they choose to come in and take the Final during our Final Exam Period, I will allow them to.
I handed out copies of the Course Extension Contract this week as well. This is a very important document for students in specific core classes (including World Lit) who end up failing the course by 1-5 points. I handed this out to students if they could possibly qualify as needing it. My hope is that none of my students will need it, but I do need it back from every student.
The World Lit Final Exam Study Guide can be found here.
The Yearbook Final Exam Study Guide can be found here.
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend.
