I grade using a Total Point System. Lab grades will be primarily based on the completion of the self assessment and teacher assessment on the daily lab rubric with 9 points possible each day for the areas of respect, responsibility, and preparation. 60% or higher will earn a CR credit on your progress report for ½ credit per semester. Semester exams are 20% per handbook. Class Expectations: Use your resources to complete daily assignments to earn points and credits towards graduation while behaving with a positive, respectful, and responsible attitude. Refer to the EHS Student Handbook for detailed information regarding classroom expectations and regulations (attendance, late work, homework, etc). http://ehs.edwardsburgpublicschools.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=709271&type=d&pREC_ID=1138824 Refer to your Individualizes Education Plan for your IEP details.
