What Can I Do to Improve My Grade?

1. Take advantage of EVERY opportunity to EARN a good grade.

- For the rest of the school year, treat every assignment, test, bellringer, vocabulary quiz, and every little activity as an chance to           earn a good grade. Do not squander a single opportunity. Each graded assignment is an chance for a good grade, but a wasted          opportunity is also an almost guaranteed bad grade that will only hurt your average more.

 

2. Complete any and all missing work (that is still within time frame acceptable for submission and approved by teacher).

 

3. Ask for opportunities to resubmit assignments or to complete extra credit work.

- Resubmitting assignments and extra credit is only offered at teacher's discretion.

- Extra credit options are consistently listed on website.

 

4. Come to tutoring for assistance with assignments, test preparation, and concept review.

- See tutoring guidelines to the right.
