If they have their essays for me, I will look at them to determine whether they "earned" enough pts. They need to be
turned in to Laura (I hope you don't mind) and they need to be turned in today . She needs to verify that it was turned
in today and the time it was. If they are in today, I will look at them on Wednesday.

Subject: RE: Seniors
I totally get your perspective; however, grades are not finalized until 550 pm on Wednesday, May 25, 2016.
Therefore, there is still time for these two to earn the points needed to graduate.
I truly hope you would give these two the opportunity to earn the points needed to earn the opportunity to
graduate with their class; especially, given that we still have more the 57 hours left until we finalize grades.
Thank you for your consideration,
Auggie

Auggie,
Yes, they were both close. I told each class how important it was to write the analysis on the 3rd quarter reading. Not
all of them did it. When you look at
and
points, that assignment it would have earned them a passing
grade. I know they want to graduate. The other students who wanted to pass the class wrote the essay. If they had
each done possibly one more assignment, they would have earned the points to pass the class.
I am sorry at this point, according to the points they earned, let's not forget that word earned, they did not pass the
class.

Auggie, as of 4:30 on Friday afternoon, I have 17 seniors who failed the class. I was not out to fail students, but some
did not do the class work and homework that was required of them and/or some did poorly on the final. To quote Dr.
Sanchez,theres a right way of doing things and you work hard and you earn the grade and pass the class .
Those that failed didnt work hard enough and they failed. They knew what they had to do to pass the class. Im sorry I
would have liked to have seen more pass.
I am taking a personal day off on Monday and will be at Pueblo on Wednesday.
