One. Final. Chance. Starts 4/27. You need to read this, NOW

Read this very carefully, some of you may be able to save yourselves.  It starts tomorrow, so it is urgent you read it now!

If you:
1. Are prepared daily with all work done, notes, highlighter, handouts (this means all questions answered on all handouts, video packets, vocab - absolutely complete work)
AND
2.  Score a 90 or higher on the Regents Exam

I will consider a passing course grade for you if you are currently failing.  This will be on a case by case basis and does not mean I will grant a passing grade, only that I will consider it based on your effort starting tomorrow, Friday, 4/27.  If you see me before 1st period on a day you are attending US History Regents Review, I will give you a slip for that teacher to complete for a chance to earn extra credit points for your 4th MP average.  (My review, if you are eligible, will also earn you extra credit points for your 4th MP average, 1 point per hour of review so sign up when the sheet goes up if you're allowed to join me.)  If you don't get the slip prior to 7:25 am on that day, you missed your chance.

Now...for those of you who are already passing, know you do all of the above and none of what's listed below, I'm not leaving you out.  On a case by case basis, I will consider "bonus points" to boost your course average.  You did the right thing, you deserve the chance to earn a perk more than anyone!  Same for the Regents Review perk.

However, if you fall into any category below, you will not be eligible for anything above except the Regents Review credit:
1.  Chronic cutting this year (or cutting any day moving forward)
2.  Chronic lateness (or late any day moving forward)
3.  Homework not done or incomplete (document packets, vocabulary, video packets - anything assigned)  
4. Not paying attention in class
5. Unprepared for class (no notes, highlighter, review supplies, can't find handouts, didn't get a text book, etc.)
6.  Failing Quiz or Exam grades, since you need to be studying to pass the Regents
7.  Failure to turn in phone or turn off phone

Any of these items will cause you to disqualify yourself.  It will take only 1 violation on one day.  This is a last chance gift, not something I am required to do.  If you fall into the "I did nothing & now I can't pass the course" category, you might want to seriously consider this.

Remember, this starts tomorrow. 
Fail a HW quiz tomorrow?  Disqualified.
No Vocab/incomplete vocab?  Disqualified.
Fail the quiz tomorrow?  Disqualified.

Start doing something to redeem your year.  

This is it.  

No more chances if you blow it.
