Failing or Close? Read Me.

I have never understood the question "How am I failing?"  The answer is almost always "because you didn't do your work."  If you are currently failing the 1st marking period, keep reading:

1. Did you submit your signed & completed Expectation & Contact Form Sheets?  If you did, a 100 is in Thinkwave.  If you did not there is a 0.  If you did not, you have one final chance to turn it the missing form(s) at the start of your class on Wednesday, 10/2.  This is the 3rd extension & will not be pushed further for any reason, including absences.  Forms were given to every student either the 1st day or when you entered our class.  Please find them as necessary & submit.  If not, the 0 stays.

2.  Did you sign up for Quizlet?  If you did, by the deadline, with the appropriate username, yo have 100 entered.  If there is a 0, you did not do one of the required steps above.  You have until Tuesday, 10/1, to fix it for a 65.  No grades will be changed after that date.

Also, if you had a proper username & then changed it, I deleted you.  I check weekly for this, and delete anyone who does not follow the guidelines I set up for Quizlet.

3.  Classwork grades of 0 - if you were legally absent on a day we did classwork, but you have a 0 for the assignment in Thinkwave, you must email me no later than Wednesday, 10/2 to have it changed before progress reports are done.  Your email must have your full name & class period in the subject field to be open or it goes into spam.  Your email must include the date(s) & names of assignments before I'll spend the time looking up your records in Eschool.  You can use the assignment names & dates in Thinkwave.  I will then check your attendance records.  If you are correct, I will remove the 0.  If not, it stays.

4. Absent but never made u the work you missed (not classwork) - sorry.  Deadlines are listed in every assignment.  Once a make up deadline had passed, work is fair game to go back to you &, therefore, no more make ups are allowed.  Those grades will not be changed.  If you fall into this category, please be more responsible regarding deadlines from absences.
