*Students are allowed to redo or make corrections on any grade below a 70, unless it is below a 70 due to being late.

*The highest you can bring a failing grade up to with a retake is a 70 , which will be a passing grade.

*I drop the lowest grade each 6 weeks.
*I give homework passes as earned rewards. They are used to replace any grade (except a test) with a 100.
