Brownie Points

Each six weeks a student’s average may be improved by adding in extra points determined by “Brownie Points”. 

At the beginning of a six weeks grading period each student starts with “0” Brownie Points. Brownie Points will be earned or lost as follows: 

+1 : each day the student is present and on time to class

+1 : each day a student attends a tutoring session

- 1 : having to use the bathroom during the class period (other than during

          class break)

- 1 : having a cell phone out during the class period (not in use)

- 3 : using a cell phone during the class period (ringing, texting, talking)

- 1 : misuse of a music listening device (MP3, IPOD, Walkman, etc.)

- 1 : other class disruption

- 1 : not on task

- 1 : sleeping in class

- 1 : not being prepared for class (textbook, pencil, paper, etc.)

- 5 : retake a test during the same six weeks as the original test

At the end of the six weeks grading period, if a student has accumulated 20 Brownie Points an additional 3 points will be added to their percentage. This is in addition to the 2 points for perfect attendance.

***Please note: if a student is caught cheating, he/she will automatically receive zero (0) Brownie Points for the current 6 weeks period.
