Parrish Class

I always have individual grade conferences with each student seven days prior to turning in grades to the front office. During that grade conference, I will provide to student a ClassAction spreadsheet. The spreadsheet will include a grade for each individual assignment as well as a final grade for that quarter and/or semester. During that conference, the student and I will discuss the student's grade and performance in my class. It is important that student look at grades during this seven day period and compare grades with his or her student grade chart. If student finds a discrepancy, or if student is not fully satisfied with grade for any reason, the student is expected to come to me during this seven day period; we need to discuss it then. There will be no surprises when grades finally come out. (Please note grade conference dates on the calendar linked above).

My policy also states that any student who is one or two points

away from an "A", a "B", or a "C" will be permitted to do extra

credit work to bring that grade up to its next letter grade. But,

this must be taken care of during the seven day period. After I

turn in grades to the front office, I will not make grade changes

for any reason unless student is homebound or has reasons which

are legally binding. To be fair, I must declare - No Exceptions.

Parents - I am able to email a ClassAction spreadsheet home

to you at any time. Please send me your email address.

Parrish Class Policy and Procedure Regarding Extra Credit Work:

All students may do tutoring of your peers or accept tutoring for test preparation, depending on your grade point average in the class; you will receive extra credit points for doing this. THIS IS THE ONLY TYPE OF EXTRA CREDIT THAT YOU MAY DO IN THE CLASS. (30 points max for extra credit).

Parrish Class Policy and Procedure Regarding Late Work:

If a student turns work in one day late, student will lose

50% of the point value of that assignment, on top of

any other points taken off for incorrect responses in

the work. If a student turns work in two days late,

student will lose 100% of the point value of that

assignment.

However, I will take late work at any time, without

penalty, provided I have a parent conference about why

the particular assignment was late. We need to meet

to discuss its reason for being late and to discuss ways

to prevent future work from coming in late.
