​

How much time should you be spending?

• 9 hours for 4 core content courses per week

[Math, English, Science, Social Studies]

• 1 hour per week per elective course
• Weekly 12 Hours- Many of you take 4 core courses plus 3 electives, which means, you should be spending about 12 hours on At-Home-Learning contents per week..

Daily 2.5 hours- You usually have 5 days so each day, you should be spending about 2.5 hours.

HOW?

You work directly with your teacher & simply turn in assignment(s) for a specific marking period (teachers will determine what work you will complete to bring your grade up to a 70)

How to Pass Semester 2

• You PASS MP4
• You must PASS at least ½ of your combined assignments from MP5 & MP6
• Example:

MP5 = 8 assignments

+ MP6 = 6 assignments

Total = 14 assignment

Of these 14 assignments, you need to PASS at least half (or 7)
