for each class completing homework and studying

Doing your homework every day is the best way to pass a class

Turn in homework ON TIME

Finals Each class will have a final exam Semester grades are made of 2 quarter grades

and a final exam Ex. Q1 + Q2 +Final = Semester 1 Grade

The final exam will comprise a substantial portion of your semester grade, 20% for example

Promotion/Credits/Graduation Students need 220 credits (a class is 10 credits) and

to pass the CAHSEE to graduate
