Each six weeks, the students will take 3 quizzes, maintain a notebook, do 5 to 8 homework checks, and take a six weeks test.
The three quizzes, the homework checks average, and the notebook will be averaged together to comprise half of the six weeks grade.
The other half of the six weeks grade will come from the six weeks test.
During the spring semester there will be opportunity for extra credit by attending AP exam prep sessions on Saturdays.
Attendance requirements:
Students must attend 90% of the class time. This applies to excused and unexcused absences. If a student fails to attend the required
number of classes, credit cannot be granted without making up time missed and approval from the Woodrow Wilson High School
Attendance Committee.
Modifications:
Course modifications will be provided for any student whose Individual Educational Plan includes required modifications, academic
adjustments and auxiliary aid. It is the responsibility of the parent to make certain the teacher is aware of need.
