GRADES
Grading policies and scales are currently being adjusted based on guidance from OSPI, and are subject to adjustment after the trimester begins. Please know that no student's grade will be adversely impacted if any changes occur after Sept. 1st, 2021.

WORK POLICY
Notebook work and most in-class activities will take place in your notebook. Work may be checked for completion or developing understanding and given feedback in the form of a numerical score or written/verbal feedback. Graded work that assesses application of concepts will be submitted and scored through Canvas.

LATE WORK POLICY
Work due dates are set for timely feedback, grading timelines imposed on the teacher, and for overall upkeep with the course, however late work will be accepted.

TEST RETAKE POLICY
Test retakes are allowed after completion of all recorded unit work ("no count" or "graded") and completion of a test retake form that addresses all missed questions.

PARTICIPATION
You will demonstrate engagement in our class by regularly and thoughtfully participating in discussions, completing practice work, and completing assessments. As much as possible, you will have opportunities to express your learning in a model of your choice and will have multiple opportunities to express your understanding of the material.

OFFICE HOURS
Monday - Friday, 2:05-2:30pm in Room 132. You can always schedule an appointment with me via zoom. Send requests to sheryl.mason@rentonschools.us.

CHEATING and PLAGIARISM
Work together to learn, but do and take credit for your own work. Refer to Student Conduct Expectations of the Student Handbook for further information.

WORK PACE
Keep up with work on daily basis by studying and reviewing material and completing all assignments on time with your best effort. If you’re struggling, please meet with me. I will gladly work with you!

Thanks for reading all the way!

Mrs. Mason
