Checking Grades
Here is a link to the Parent Assist website. Many Grant teachers will use this district provided program to maintain and post their grades. You will also be able to monitor attendance and check personal information.
I will update grades after every major assignment or test.
To use this website you will need to get a personal code from the Grant High School office. The secretaries expect to receive these codes soon, but have not received them yet. I will update this post when they are available. If you have a code from last year or for any other child it should still be active.
Please let me know if you have problems accessing this site.

Welcome Back & General Information
The 2008-2009 has started. Welcome to AP Physics.
Here's some course information:
Grades:
Approximately 50% Tests, 30% Labs, 20% homework
Tests: About twice a quarter, with semester finals also. Almost always items from old AP tests, which I’ll grade by their scoring system. This will cause me to adjust the overall grading scale. See below.
Labs: Although we’ll have weekly hands-on lab assignments, I’ll only have you write up formal lab reports about twice a quarter. (The first one will be due Sept. 15.) Late labs are penalized at 10% a week.
Homework: I’ll check them off for effort and completion on the due data and collect them in a packet on the test day. Show your work, be neat, stay organized. Talk to me if homework ever feels like busy work. No late homework accepted except for excused absences.
Grading Scale: 100-85 A, 85-70 B, 70-55 C, 55-40 D, 40
Supplies:
Textbook
Notebook, or section of a notebook
Calculator
Protractor
Graph Paper
AP Test: May 11, 2009. I encourage you to take it.
