The course grade is based on the following:
Daily Log – Students will be required to keep a Daily Log in
Learning Lab. This log will document what the student
worked on during the Learning Lab class period. Students
will be able to earn up to 10 points per day by completing
the Daily Log sheet. These points are earned by arriving to
class on time, coming to class prepared (i.e. covered book,
binder, paper, homework, writing utensil, etc.), not asking
to use the bathroom during the class period, and acting
appropriately while in class. If a student has an excused
absence, the missed points can be made up if the student
meets will all of his/her teachers to discuss how the student
plans on making up what he/she missed in each class. If a
student has an unexcused absence, these points cannot
be made up.

Student Planner – Students should be prepared with their
planner filled out every day to be checked by the
instructor. The planner will be checked only once per
week, but the student will not know exactly which day this
will occur.
Grade Sheet -– Students will receive a print-out of their
current grades in all of their classes every Thursday. It is the
student’s responsibility to get this list signed by a
parent/guardian, to sign the print-out themselves, to get
the signature of the teacher of any class he/she is missing
work and/or are failing, and to submit it to the Learning Lab
instructor. This assignment will only be accepted on the
