Grading Policy

All final grades are given by the parent. Points are awarded and distributed

to the parent by the instructor for the following:
Class Attendance

1) Each class is worth a set number of points. This is up to your discretion based on the total
number of points given throughout the whole school year.

2) All points are to be awarded if the student is on time. If they are more than 5 min. late, they
will receive half of those points. They are not be penalized if the instructor starts class late.

3) No points will be awarded if they miss class unless you have excused an absence. Excused
absences are those that are preapproved for family activities or illness. In the event of an
excused absence, they are to receive all attendance points. They must notify the instructor or
their designated TA in writing ahead of time in order to receive an excused absence.

Assignments

1) Points for assignments are up to your discretion. Points can be earned in whatever method
you choose for class, including tests, quizzes, homework, extra credit, etc.

2) You may also opt out of point assignments in your class, but you still MUST award
attendance points.

Conduct and Participation

1) Each student will receive conduct points for each day of class attendance. Points will be
awarded for appropriate, safe, and respectful behavior. Unsafe practices with chemicals,
horse play, and any inappropriate class disruptions will result in fewer points being awarded.
2) As the instructor, you also have the option of awarding participation points if it is applicable to
your class.

Letter Grades

The number of points earned in the class will be provided by the instructor through a letter for
the parents to give an actual grade. We are not officially a school so by Arizona state law we
are not allowed to give grades.

WE DO NOT PROVIDE TRANSCRIPTS – It is the responsibility of the parent to develop and
maintain this for the student.
