So there are no surprises around report card time, please check Alma weekly for any missing grades or zeroes. If a student was absent from sickness and we have discussed an assignment being excused, then you won't see a zero in Alma. A grade of zero means the student failed to do the assignment. Non-excused, late work will be accepted with significant points taken off.
