Any second incident of dishonesty will result in a grade "F" for the semester.

UNIT GRADING
A student's grade is based upon the accumulation of overall participation points, skill points, portfolio points, testing points, and/or bonus points (max. of 10 points per grading period). Please note that the bulk of the grade comes from daily participation in-class activity.
Participation points are front-loaded at the beginning of each unit. Reasons for losing points from the participation portion of each unit include the following:
(1) Excused absence = -5 (2) Block Day= -8 |
(2) 1st unexcused tardy = -1 2nd unexcused tardy = -2 3rd + unexcused tardy= -3 |
(3) Non-participation/disruptive behavior = -1 to -5 |
(4) Class cut = -10 |
(5) Partial clothes cut = -1 each item |
(6) Full non-suit = -3 |
Point Breakdown for Grading Units:
90 -100 = A 70 - 79 = C 59 and below = Fail
80 - 89 = B 60 - 69 = D
Opportunities for Make-Up:
Students may make up missed points by participating in fitness activities during tutorial time, by attending school sporting events, and specific personal assignments approved by the individual instructor. Additional makeups will be available based on personal circumstances. It is the student’s responsibility to see the appropriate instructor for setting up any necessary makeups.
Maximum points allowable for each grading period is 10.
