On January 14, 2008, desktop publishing students will take a semester exam. We follow the same rules as the high schools. If a student is absent for the semester exam in a high school credit class, a doctor's note is required to excuse the absence and allow the student to take a make-up exam.
Each six-weeks grade counts 28% of the semester average. The semester exam counts 16% of the semester average. The semester average determines whether or not the student earns high school credit.

Desktop Publishing is a full year, high school credit course. Students will use a variety of software tools to learn to create appealing products such as flyers, brochures, programs, posters, etc. Students will also use a digital camera to gather images that will be used in the memory book and the 8th grade video. There is a semester exam at the end of each semester.

There is a $10 fee for Desktop Publishing class. If you haven't sent this fee with your DTP student, please do it ASAP. Thank you to all who have paid. This fee pay for the toner in the color printer and helps keep us up-to-date with other equipment.

Grades are weighted as follows:
60% Major Grades (Tests, Projects)
40% Daily Grades (practice, quizzes, small in-class projects)
Homework is rarely given and is never more than 10% of overall grade.

Students must keep their Mustang Mates up-to-date! There will be at least one and perhaps two Mustang Mate checks every six weeks! It's an easy 100 and a silly zero.
