Total points for class grade:  330

CPR Test:  20 points

The CPR unit will be completed during class. It is important that students follow instruction, as this is a high school graduation requirement for them.  Students will not be able to graduate from high school without completing the CPR unit successfully.  The test is completed after several days of instruction and practice.  We teach students Hands-Only/Bystander CPR.  They will practice on mannequins and be tested during class time. 

Conduct Grades

Outstanding = zero violations during the six week grading period; Satisfactory = 1-3 conduct violations; Needs Improvement = 4-5 conduct violations; Unsatisfactory  = 6 or more conduct violations

Conduct Violations: Tardiness to class, out of seat when attendance is taken, talking during inappropriate periods, not following directions, horseplay/not following safety procedures after a warning.

Abstinence Forms

Please remember to return the student abstinence forms to Mrs. Rowell as soon as possible.  They came home in your summer mailing packet.  I will send home additional forms with all students whose forms I did not receive during the first few weeks of class.  It is important to have the form for participation in our abstinence curriculum. Thank you!
