End of 9 Weeks Wake-Up Calls

·        Near the end of the quarter the teacher puts in the actual points the student has earned thus far.

 

·        This is done so the student & parent(s) really see how not getting the minimum of 10 points can affect one’s grade in the class. It is referred to as a WAKE-UP CALL to get the points!

 

·        The teacher always notifies the office when this looks like it affects procedure effects eligibility.

 

o       For example, is Sammy didn’t have 10 points, but had only 5, that would lower his average by 5 percentage points. If he sat at a 65% then subtracting 5 points would make him have a D, thus being ineligible. In reality however, he still has the full quarter to get his points, so the teacher emails the office with a list. It would say something like this…

 

·         The following students have C’s, not D’s as it looks in PowerSchool

·          Sammy Smith

·        Jane Doe
