FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

Why do I have a zero? How can I raise my grade?

School Loop does not let us add missing assignments in an easy way. Therefore, whenever I don't get an assignment from you, I add a zero. This way it is easy for you to know you are missing it on your dashboard.

The easiest way to raise your grade is to turn in your missing assignments! If you need extra copies of any of the work from class, check the "Extra Copies" area of the classroom (hint, it's in yellow by the recycle bin in our room).

Why do I still have a zero? I turned my assignment in earlier this week.

All late or missing work gets added to the gradebook on Friday. If you turned it in on Monday, you won't see a change of grades until that Friday!

Is there any extra credit I can get to raise my grade?

There is no extra credit because you can make up any missing assignments.

I turned it in, I swear!

Did you by any chance not put your name on it? Check the "No Name Bin"!
