Grades are based on the following percentages and points for GPA calculations: 

Accommodations and/or modifications:  

Appropriate accommodations and/or modifications will be provided for students with  documented disabilities. Accommodations and modifications are types of adaptations that  are made to the environment, curriculum, instruction, or assessment practices in order for  students with disabilities to be successful learners and actively participate with other students  in the general education classroom or in school-wide activities. Specific accommodations and  modifications are determined by the student’s Section 504 team or Individual Education  Program team. If a student with a documented disability is eligible to receive  accommodations and/or modifications their special education case manager will contact me  within the first two weeks of class and provide me with explicit directions and/or resources to  implementing the accommodations and/or modifications that are included on the student’s  Section 504 plan or Individual Education Program. Communication with me is essential to

the successful completion of course expectations and the implementation of  accommodations and/or modifications.

Attendance, Behavior, and Performance Expectations:  

Student success is dependent upon respecting and following the rules of conduct outlined in  Board Policy #3241 and described in the student handbook. Both are available on the  website at www.eastmont206.org.

Make-up Work:  

Eastmont School District Policy and Procedures #3122 for excused absences and make-up  work apply to this course. Specifically, “If an absence is excused, the student will be  permitted to make up all missed assignments outside of class under reasonable conditions  and time limits…” All the activities and learning opportunities for this course are expected to  be completed. Absences, whether excused or unexcused, cause gaps in learning.  Tests and quizzes should be made up out of class time.

Clubs, Activities, and Leadership opportunities:

Miscellaneous: 

Work will be accepted up until the end of the current unit but points are deducted for every week the assignment is late.

Quizzes can be retaken once, within a specified timeframe.

Tests are not allowed to be retaken.

Academic dishonesty (including, but not limited to, copying another student's work, looking up answers online, plagiarizing, turning in another student's paper, etc.) will result in parent contact, referral to administration for discipline, and a zero on the assignment with an opportunity to complete an alternative assignment. All work submitted to any teacher at Eastmont High School should be your own or properly cited.
