To keep things simple, all classes will use the same assignment structure for the day. Digital Day Assignment: Complete any missing assignments. Resubmit any assignments with a grade below 75% for improvement. Students must comment on their work, stating: Which missing assignment(s) they completed. Which below 75% assignment(s) they redid. If they have nothing to complete, they should comment: "I have a sufficient grade. I do not have missing assignments nor do I need to retake anything." Please remind your student to complete their work and submit their comment accordingly. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. Stay safe and warm!
