Grades update

There has been a change in the due dates for grades.

I need to have all your work by 3:30 pm on Thursday, May 21. I need to enter your grades shortly after that. I can give no deadline extension.

There are mixed messages on how grades work.

• Senior grades are due on May 22
• Junior grades are due on June 1
• State law says all grades are not due until June 3

You can see that this is a mess. This is how it is going to work.

• I will post your current grade to the blog early this week. It will not have your name, but your ID number.
• I am going to post your final grade "to the computer system" on May 21 (Thursday).
• After that time, if you grade continues to go up, I can request your grade be changed upward by a paper form (yuck).

The bottom line is this:

• Please turn in everything possible by Thursday, May 21 at 3:30 pm.
• Then continue to work toward raising your grade before around June 1.
• Don't sweat the deadlines, but do your best to work with me.

Even if you will graduate before June 1, your high school transcripts will not be issued until a little later, so there is still time to bring up your grades for a few days after your graduation.

Sorry about all the confusion. Don't freak out! I look forward to seeing your final projects.
