Extra+Credit+Opportunities

There will be few opportunities to do extra credit work in grade eight. Motivated students will find opportunities listed here BUT you must ask Miss Cotter for __permission__ to do them so she may give you specific guidelines for due dates.

If you are not doing your regular classwork and homework, do not expect to make up for that by doing extra credit work. Only students in good standing will be given extra credit for completing a project. You may not do more than one extra credit project per term. No student will be allowed to turn in an extra credit project within the two weeks prior to issuance of progress notes or report cards. The last extra credit project must be passed in by May first as Miss Cotter will be too busy with field day and end-of-year events to correct any extra work after that date.
