How often are grade reports sent home?

Ms. Burow's grade reports are sent home every 5 weeks, the week prior to school 
report cards.  You have that week to turn in any missing work.  No work will be 
accepted for the previous 5 week period after that date.  

Grades are also listed on the Eagle memos that are sent home every week.  Each week you 
will get an update from either science, social studies, or English class.

I was absent. How do I get my make-up work, and when is it due?

When you have been absent, you are still responsible for completing any work
you missed.  You can get all the papers and notes from the Extra Copies file
at the back of the room.  See Ms. Burow at Nutrition, between classes, or after
school if you have any questions about the assignments.  It is best to get
work caught up ASAP, but all make-up work is due at the end of each 5 week
grading period.  When you are absent, you can also check the Homework page of
this website to see what assignments can be done before you return.

Why don't the assignment totals and the points possible match?

Each 5 week grade report will only show the current assignments.  Total Class
points are cumulative.  That is, they are a total of points from the beginning
of the semester till the end.  However, you may only do assignments from the
current 5 week grading period.  Previous assignments still count, but cannot
be changed.

How can I raise my grade?

The best way to raise your grade is to turn in any missing work.  Getting
points for late work is better than a zero.  Once all of your work is caught
up, extra credit work may be done.

What can I do for extra credit?

A list of extra credit possibilities is available at all times in the Extra Copies file.  Some extra credit 
assignments are worth a possible 10 points, others are worth a possible 20.  Extra Credit may only 
be done if your REGULAR WORK IS CAUGHT UP.
