ATTENDANCE

There is a clipboard on the front table and you will need to come

in and initial under that date each day.

This needs to be the first thing you do on a daily basis.

You will receive an employability grade for my class and this

along with your work ethic, professionalism and willingness to

learn will go into this calculation.

The less your absent the easier it will be to

succeed.

These are your warm-up questions each day.

You keep them on one sheet of paper and turn them in at the end of the week

It should include the date before each question so I can see when you completed the assignment.

You will also need to write the question as well.

You will get one grade per week for these.

GRADING

We will fill in your grading sheet every Monday with

the grades you received the week before that went into

IC.

The grading system has changed from two semester

grades to a cumulative year long grade• It will be important that you keep up with your

assignments, due dates and grades so that you are not failing. One small slip and you will fail the whole class resulting in you retaking it for another year.
