Participation Grades - Start out as a 100 for all students at the beginning of each grading period. Deductions from the grade of 100 accumulate during the grading period, then start over at the start of the next grading period. Daily participation and preparation grades include dressing out, participating in class activities, arriving to class on time, and having all necessary materials for class.
The following are deductions that can be made from your participation grade:
Failure to dress out when required -5 points/per piece
Failure to give full effort in a class activity (unexcused) -10 points
Unprepared with class materials, including hair ties, dance journal, -1 point
technology device, etc.
Horseplay/off task -5 points
Chewing gum or having food/drinks other than water in the dance room -1 point
Using a technology device without permission or improperly -5 points
Late dressing out without a pass -1 point
*It is very important to be on time and prepared for class! A low or failing participation average can affect your final average in dance class.
Google Classroom: Each student will join Google Classroom for their corresponding class period. Google Classroom will be used for various communication, assignments, projects, and assessments.
Daily Grades: Periodically we will have small assignments in class that will count as a daily grade.
Make-Up Work: It is the student’s responsibility to keep track of make-up work when absent. Students need to see/email Miss V immediately upon returning to school to get any missed assignments. In the event that a student is going to be absent for an extended period of time written assignments may be given to replace skills tests grades.
Communication: The best way to reach Miss V during the school day with any questions or concerns to ensure a speedy reply is through email.
