Trimester Agenda

• Late/ Missing Assignment Policy

  Weeks 6 and 12 are Achiever Weeks. Which means no new assignments will be given and Achievers can catch up on any assignments that need to be completed (with the exception of assessments, presentations and IReady “Weekly Time On Task”. Achievers week may be a project presentation week.

  Assignments that are done and submitted late will be automatically receive a 5% deduction (per week) from the overall score.

  After an Achiever Week, no make up/catch up assignments from those weeks prior will be accepted and/or reviewed

  EXCEPTIONS ARE CIRCUMSTANTIAL

• Every 6 weeks a project/presentation will be due (for this class, projects are used in place of traditional testing like midterms or finals. However, Achievers will take Diagnostic testing and quizzes for assessment of comprehension and retention of the material).

• Learning‌ ‌Concept(s)/Standard(s)‌ ‌&‌ ‌Assignments‌ ‌will‌ ‌be‌ ‌posted‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌Google‌ ‌Classroom‌; Available 8/23/21. I encourage Families to get familiar with their Achievers Google Classroom as that will be a great source of up-to-date information (What's going on in the class and what is required of your Achievers).
