You will be able to access all student grade information through Thinkwave I try my best to log grades in every week, so your profile should be generally up to date. Here, I will post any information regarding progress reports, report cards, standardized assessments, etc. You can also find my classroom grading breakdown as well as additional KMS grading policies below. As always, feel free to call or email me with any questions!
HOMEWORK
Homework gives students the opportunity to practice and hone their skills at their own pace outside of the classroom. I generally supply students with all weekly homework assignments at the beginning of the week (Monday), with a due date at the end of the week (Friday).

EXTRA CREDIT
I believe students should have the opportunity to earn additional points to either improve or support their performance in the classroom. Students will always be informed about extra credit opportunities, in the classroom and/or through the website. Please do not hesitate to ask me about these opportunities!
