This course no longer drops grades at the end of the six-weeks. Instead, students may earn bonus points, called Edgar Bucks, based on attendance, punctuality, and participation in tutoring when needed.
● Students earn 20 Edgar Bucks for each instructional day they
attend and are on time
○ (Certain school-wide days are excluded)
● Absent
→ 0 Edgar Bucks earned for that day
● Tardy
→ 10 Edgar Bucks earned for that day
● A typical six-weeks allows students to earn up to 240 Edgar Bucks
If a student misses school or arrives late, they may earn back lost Edgar Bucks by attending tutoring.
● Students earn 1 Edgar Buck for every 5 minutes of tutoring
● Students may only earn back the amount they lost due to absences
or tardies
This encourages students to seek academic support while keeping the system fair.
At the end of the six-weeks, students may apply their earned Edgar Bucks as extra credit:
● Minor grades: 1 point added per Edgar Buck
● Major grades: 1 point added for every 2 Edgar
Bucks
Students choose how their earned points are applied.
● Encourages consistent attendance and punctuality
● Promotes tutoring as academic support
● Replaces automatic grade removal with earned rewards
● Keeps grading transparent and fair
No grades are removed, and no penalties are added. This policy simply provides students with an opportunity to earn additional credit through responsible habits and academic effort.
