One of the many great things about graduating from high school in Wyoming is that Hathaway Scholarship. The Hathaway Scholarship is funded by a $400 million permanent endowment an all Wyoming students are eligible for the Hathaway Scholarship if they meet the criteria. This scholarship can cover significant portions post-secondary education. Please visit this website to learn more about the Hathaway Scholarship or email your questions in.
In order to make grades reflective of learning, the LMS staff has developed grading norms. Some of our norms are related to late or missing work. Students do not lose points if work is late. Taking off points would be grade promptness, which is a behavior, as opposed to offering feedback on what the assignment was about. However, turning in assignments on the last day of a semester from the first week of the semester is more about a grading game than a learning game.
Late or missing assignments can be completed and submitted for credit in nine week intervals. The first nine week interval ends this Friday. Any work from the first part of the year will not be accepted for credit after Friday, November 2nd. Assignments from Monday the 5th onward will be accepted through the end of the semester on January 18th. Please check your student's grades in Powerschool and utilize Scout Learning Lab to help your student complete any missing work prior to this Friday.
