Elective Department
Elective classes cover a wide range of performance based classes. These classes are based on demonstrating skills using both individual and team based performances. In general, each elective class’ grade is based on total points. Assignments of greater importance will be awarded more points. Students will receive both individual and group grades depending on the nature of the assignment. Each elective teacher has consented to make their grading policy available to both students and parents upon request.
