• Both Mrs. Gipson 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 Mrs. Gipson 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%): 

Transfer grade goes in for all previous assignments with the understanding that they can go back and redo any of the previous assignments in an attempt to raise the grade

• 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. Email Mrs. Gipson with the exact assignment title that you would like to "redo". The assignment will be reposted on HMH.

• Quizzes and Tests may be retaken one time. Email Mrs. Gipson with the exact quiz or test that you would like to "redo". Quizzes will be reposted on HMH. Unit tests will be reset and accessible on Google Classroom.

• 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.)
