Extra Credit Policy:

Students can earn up to five points a semester by

doing a combination of the following:

  • Attending Reading Hour: Reading hour is held one Thursday a month in the Library before school. You must sign in and write my name down in order to get credit. A breakfast snack is provided if you arrive early. Breakfast at 7:15am and Reading Hour begins at 7:30am. You must stay the whole time to earn the point.

  • Recycling Club: I will only accept one recycling club green card a month--this is for students who CANNOT attend reading hour due to other commitments. Recycling Club meets every Tuesday after school in Room 1100.

  • Take a picture of you reading: AP students must be reading their AP Psychology book. Email the picture to marric@d219.org or print out the picture and turn it in during class. You can only submit two pictures a semester for points. I reserve the right to use pictures for a bulletin board.
