C = 70% (Meets)

F = 59% (Falls Far Below)
There will be three main categories for grades:
Assignments:20%
Assessments:60% (quizzes & unit tests)

Parents and guardians will receive a progress report in the mail every three weeks. It is important to be aware of these progress reports and review them with your student.
Parents, guardians, and students may access a student’s grade by going to Student Vue, an online grade system accessible from LAEA High School’s homepage.

Information about what is required for each assignment for this is class is available on Student Vue.

Support through Title I funding is available in the areas of: math, reading and English. If interested, please contact the Principal Mr. Kemp for additional information at 602-764-0050.
Make-up Policy:Virtual Learning courses are self-paced. Students’ progress percentage within the course should adhere to their target completion percentage. Students have two attempts to pass quizzes on their own with a 70% or higher. After two attempts, a virtual learning instructor must be contacted. Tests and the Cumulative Final must be released by a virtual learning instructor. Students who are falling behind or need additional assistance outside of class time may work with their instructor during advisory.
Attendance: Student attendance is crucial to academic success. Students are counted absent in class if they are not in attendance for more than one-half of the class period. Students are expected to be in their assigned seats when the tardy bell rings. Please refer to the school handbook for information about attendance policies and consequences for excessive absences (including loss of course credit).
