End of the year plan beginning May 26th:

For the remaining weeks of classes, students will: 

1. Complete the DAILY ATTENDANCE (even on Wednesday). 
2. Participate in each class’s community building activity (the same day/time as your live lessons)
3. Participate in each class’s check in discussion days - these might be something posted or live (same day as your discussion days)
   
4. Students who are not currently passing a class will work with their teacher to demonstrate skills in order to earn a passing grade by the end of the year.  

Grading for May 26th - End of Year

• If you participate in your community building and discussion days, you receive 100% in the gradebook for a learning activity.  If you do not participate, it will not negatively impact your grade.
• If you are currently not passing (it's called an NX) your teacher will let you know what work you need to do and when they are available to check in with you.  If you have an NX in a class, you can still participate in community building activities as well and will receive 100% in the gradebook (learning activity) for your engagement in addition to working individually with  your teachers to demonstrate course skills.
