"Students, if you are feeling overwhelmed, overly stressed, depressed, disconnected, or in any other way emotionally struggling, please reach out to anyone at the school who you feel comfortable talking to. Please feel free to reach out to a teacher, counselor, assistant principal, or to me directly. If we can’t appropriately problem solve with you, we can get you in touch with someone who can."
-Mr. Pirner, Principal
Grading Information
Teachers will be using the following grading marks:
Excused = Communicates to the student that s/he is exempt from this assignment- it neither helps or hinders their grade.
Missing = Communicates to the student that the assignment was never received but the student can still turn it in. Giving a student a Missing flag is the calculation equivalent to giving the student a zero.
Zero = Communicates to the student the grade is final and cannot be recovered.
