10. Grading To see your student’s grades: BUT… Go to Zangle Parent Connect
Blank spots DO NOT equal zero (it means I haven't entered it yet)
Absent work might show up as a zero (for now), when the student returns, we will fix the grade.
Students with accommodations for extra time, might see a zero if the assignment was not turned in, but it will be fixed before the progress report.
Remind your student to keep all work to have proof of the grade they received.

11. Grading Codes on Zangle
Red= Missing Work
Green=Late Work (1/2 or “C” credit)

12. Absences and late work
Students have the amount of days they were absent to get work made-up for full credit
Late work is due by the end of the grading period and is only worth ½ credit
