PowerSchool

Participation is weighted 15% of a student grade and Points are recorded in Rooms. Students are expected to make this classroom a learning environment at all times. Students will receive Positive and Needs Work Points based on their work habits and following class expectations. All students can EARN or LOSE Participation Points each day of class.

Positive Points

Students can earn daily participation points by showing strong work habits, joining class discussions, answering questions, and acting as empowered learners.

Needs Work Points

Students are expected to remain on task and follow all classroom instructions. Students lose a participation point if they are unprepared, disruptive, excessively talkative, or off-task. The use of a restroom pass will also result in a one-point deduction.

🚻 Restroom Policy 🚻

A student will automatically receive Two Free Restroom Passes 🚻 at the start of each Grading Cycle. These Two Passes are worth Two Points, which starts all students with a participation grade of 80%. A student can choose to keep these points or use them as restroom passes.
