• The entire Science Department has switched to percentages instead of point values for grading all assignments this year. We use the following percentages for graded assignments:– 40% Exams– 30% Quizzes– 20% Labs & Projects– 10% CW, HL & Participation
• Late work will NOT be accepted. Assignments that are not turned in receive a Z in the grade book. Make-up work will only be given when the child’s absence is excused by the office.
• Serve as support with student home learning assignments• Check Doral Academy website • MDCPS Parent Portal & Student Portal• Keep lines of communication open
If you haven’t already done so, please pay $20.00 Science Lab Fee.

The school requires parents to complete 30 volunteer hours for the school year.
You can complete these by attending events like today, participating in school activities, or by making donations to your child’s teachers. Any supplies turned in, must have a receipt attached, and you will be credited at 1 hour for ever $3.33 spent.
