They're baaa-aack!
POW = Power Of Work
CSMS POW program begins this week...
2013 POW Process
- POWS began Monday, September 16, 2013.
- Students will be issued 1 POW only per incomplete assignment. The issued POW will automatically be counted as one of 5 POWS (accumulated in all classes per each 9 week period) in not attending the Homework Bash. Once a POW is issued, it will count regardless if the work is completed or not.
- Students will have 24 hours to complete and return the assignment along with the signed POW for partial credit. The teacher will determine the amount of partial credit the student will receive.
- Students will only receive partial credit for returning both the POW and completed assignment.
- Failure to complete the assignment and signed POW within the 24 hour allotted time will result in a zero being entered in the grade-book.
- The names of students who receive 10 or more POWS in one 9 week period will be sent to Mr. Benton to determine a plan of action in preventing failure. (Considerations could include counselors assigning a mentor, Watch-Dog Dad Assignment, parent contact on potential failure, or other plan as decided by administrators.)
- All staff members issuing graded assignments will participate in the POW Program. A POW can be issued for any graded assignment.
- There is no carry over in POWS per 9-Weeks. Students will get a fresh start at each 9-weeks.
- The POW process was explained to students via morning announcements on Friday, September 13.
