Do you give extra credit?
Rarely. Occasionally, I will give out an extra credit
assignment, but only those students who have completed all of the regular assignments are eligible. Tests may contain a challenge question. I encourage all students to attempt these problems. They will not count against their grade, but can add points to their test score.
Do you give homework on the weekends?
I plan my week's work in an effort to avoid this, but if we do
not finish a lesson in a timely fashion, weekend assignments
become necessary.
Skyward says I am missing work, but I know I handed it all in! Is it lost?
As soon as the due date passes, Skyward will generate an
automatic message telling you are missing an assignment. This
message stays active until I enter a grade. If the * is still
there, don't worry. I just haven't entered my grades yet. If it has a "0" where the grade is, worry. It means I don't have yours!
Did you grade the test yet?
This question is usually asked the day after a test, but on
occasion on the same day! The answer is always the same. As soon as those students who were absent on the day of the test have taken the test, I will sit down and grade the tests.
Did you grade my late work?
Late work is graded only after I have caught up with grading work that has been handed in on time. Those handing in their
assignments late, will have to develop some patience. Homework handed in after the due date because of illness is not considered late
