HOW TO ACCESS ASSIGNMENTS + QUIZZES
UPDATED GRADING INFORMATION
|
|
updated weekly schedule effective April 13, 2020
ANNOUNCEMENT: You will see in Google classroom and Synergy where you have three opportunities to raise your grade even more. You are not REQUIRED to complete any of these below however, we wanted to provide the opportunity for you to complete assignments that would make a large impact on your grade. Due to CCSD COVID-19 policy, these assignments will only be inputted and count in the gradebook if a) they are higher than the current grade in the gradebook or b) they raise your class average. Keep in mind that the FINAL deadline for submitting assignments is MAY 18, 2020. Please contact your teacher via email or Remind if you have any questions or need any assistance.
1. Cells Retest
2. Ecology Retest
3. EOC Replacement Grade: This grade will be the highest grade between your Genetics test (from online textbook) and Evolution Project. No action is needed on your part unless you have not completed either of assignments for them to count.

Dear Students.
As the semester comes to a close, please make sure that all of your completed work is submitted no later than Monday, May 18, 2020 at 11:59 PM. This will allow your teachers the time to catch up on grading and post grades by Wednesday, May 20, 2020 at 12:00 PM. Please keep in mind that CCSD COVID-19 grading policy states that we are practicing positive grading and all assignments will only increase your grade as of March 16. 2020. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact your teacher via email using the contact information above. We wish you a safe and productive summer. Please take care of yourselves and we can't wait to see you in the halls again next year. <3
