Smart phones and personal electronic devices

• Smart phones and other personal electronic devices are to be turned off and stowed in backpack/purse during school hours. 

• In the event a student chooses not to stow the smart phone or other personal electronic device the device will be taken and turned in to the front office.

• Security will be called, and student will be taken to the office with a discipline referral if the student refuses to submit device.

Grading

• Students can access all assignments in Google Classroom.

• Grades are recorded as a zero (0) in Skyward until the assignment is submitted.

• Each assignment has a listed due date.  Assignments are expected to be submitted by the due date.

  • A student has seven (7) calendar days past the due date to submit the assignment with no penalty.

  • Special consideration to submit an assignment after seven (7) days will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

    1. To request special consideration, the student must open the assignment in Google Classroom and post a private comment explaining the reason for special consideration.

    2. The teacher will review the request and determine if special consideration is warranted.

    3. The teacher’s decision is final.

• Most assignments turned in with a score less than 70 may be redone by using the redo link left with the score in Google Classroom.

• Students who have not completed an assignment are sent a reminder email with directions for submitting the assignment.

Communication About Grades

• Parents and students are sent a weekly Progress Detail Report via email.

• Parents of students whose average is below 70 receive a text message.

  1. The text message contains the student's current average.

  2. The text message contains information about mandatory tutoring.
