Extra Credit Assignments
I rarely if ever give extra credit assignments.
My belief is quite simple. If a student is doing the work and turning it in on time, they will not need to be doing extra credit work. However, I do allow students to rework any assignment they did not do well on for a minimum of a C grade if they have corrected their mistakes and understand the work.
This is especially helpful for many students.
As the year progresses, if I find a student who truly needs the help of extra work, I will meet with them and work with them on a case by case need, including either modified work for a period or extra credit work to bring up a grade after the light bulb has lit.
Mr. Patrick and/or myself will be available on most mornings from 7:15-7:50 for tutoring. You do not have to sign up, students can just show up. If we will not be available for tutoring on a specific morning, we will announce in class or leave a note and students can go to the gym to wait for school to start.
