• Both **teacher name** and students will use language appropriate for a professional and academic setting. This includes all written and spoken communication (e.g. email, phone, and Zoom).

• While on Zoom, make sure that anything shared over microphone, video feed, or chat box on Zoom is school-appropriate.

• Communicate with **teacher name** as soon as you know you need to (e.g. needing help with work, having a health or personal issue). If you email me after school hours, I will get back to you the following day. (Remember - because we are not in the same room, I can't tell if you need something unless you tell me. Strong and consistent communication is appreciated).

• Passing transfer grade (60% or greater): that grade goes in for all previous assignments, student starts with current weeks work

• Non passing transfer grade (below 60%): 

Use the transfer percentage to calculate equivalent number of points earned…use those points to fill in assignments in unit 1 with 60% passing scores until earned points are exhausted. The due dates on the assignment list are reset so that all of the make-up work does not all count against students at once.

• Late work can still be turned in with no grade penalty (you won't lose points just for turning it in late).

• However, students can be dropped from the Virtual Instruction Program for lack of progress and not maintaining grades.

• Most regular class assignments can be redone and resubmitted without having to ask first. The main exception is discussion questions. They cannot be edited afterward to prevent students from trying to read other students’ answers before providing their own.

• Quizzes may be retaken a second time if the student has satisfactorily completed the work up to the quiz. Tests may be retaken with the same requirements, or after having satisfactorily completed a review activity (e.g. scoring high on a practice test, completing a study guide with good answers, etc).

• When students are unable to reach 60% on the first two attempts of a quiz, it is required that students submit a completed study guide for that lesson before the quiz will be unlocked for a 3rd attempt.

• Extra Credit is rarely given. When it is, the extra credit assignment will be posted in Google Classroom. 

(One way to easily find all of the Extra Credit is to filter the assignments on your to-do list in Google Classroom to only include assignments with no due date.)
