How to Get Students Past Zscaler
================================================================================
Grades - PLEASE CHECK POWERSCHOOL FOR CURRENT GRADES and CANVAS for MISSING ASSIGNMENTS
Due dates are provided in Canvas and Grades can be used to check if assignment was turned in and graded. Zeros will automatically go in for missing assignments past the due date. Last day to turn in assignments for the quarter will be one week prior to the end of the quarter. Please contact me for exceptions due to illness.
I spend a lot of time using the special marks they have given us in PowerSchool. You can check at a glance missing assignments which are yellow and incomplete assignments which are half blue circles.
I use DeltaMath and Khan Academy. Generally, I will be using the completion grade for Rehearse grades and not the adjusted late grade. Both allow students opportunities to work towards 100%
See grading policy in Canvas and on Homeroom Canvas course
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can't do homework without one and I do not check out any from the classroom set because I have more students than calculators in most of my classes. If there is a financial issue, I do have several personal TI-83 and TI-84 calculators I will check out but it is first come first serve. If you have an android phone, you can download the Wabbit App but you cannot use it for tests. For the PSAT and the ACT test we can only provide scientific calculators. SAT tests are no longer administered by CMS and must be scheduled by the individual student. Please come see me if you need to borrow a calculator for the SAT test.
Per the CMS grading policy, if you have not shown any attempt to do the work then it is automatically a zero. Coming in for tutoring constitutes to me an attempt and I will give partial credit for those homework assignments so please come see me if you are having problems.
RETESTS - SHOULD BE TAKEN WITHIN 5 DAYS OF TEST SCORES PUBLISHED IN POWERSCHOOL (USUALLY WITHIN 24-48 HOURS OF TEST) - IT IS A CMS REQUIREMENT THAT TUTORING IS DONE PRIOR TO RETESTS. ONCE TEST IS RELEASED, THAT TEST CAN NO LONGER BE RE-TAKEN. MAKE UP TESTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE MADE UP NEXT CLASS STUDENT ATTENDS UNLESS AN ALTERNATE PLAN HAS BEEN REQUESTED.
LATE WORK:
If you have personal questions either email me or text me before school before 7:15am or after school.
Late work for that quarter will always be accepted but the student is responsible for informing me the work is completed. I do not look back at assignments once I enter them into PowerSchool and I don't get notification when late work is turned in. Work turned in later than one week will be assigned a 50. I WILL NOT BE ANSWERING PERSONAL QUESTIONS DURING CLASS TIME UNTIL AFTER I FINISH THE LESSON FOR THE DAY. Tutoring will be in-person and asynchronous this year. Please contact me for an appointment.
I have asked all students to keep track of their homework and list assignments in their assignment tracker.
