The other will be based on class participation/performance (grade points will be based on participation, “clean-up responsibilities” and class attitude. Points will be deducted for failure to clean up workspace and/or supplies-loss of supplies or waste of supplies such as breaking pencils, tearing up and throwing eraser bits, destruction of blending stumps, rulers, etc.) Supplies and tools cannot be removed from the classroom without permission of the principal. Removing some items from the classroom without permission can result in ISS or suspension.
