Membean:

• For the first nine weeks, the kids will have one daily grade for Membean.  That will be the 90 minutes of practice with 80% accuracy between 9/4 and 9/30.  
• We will have the first quiz towards the end of that window, but the quiz grade will go into an average with the Membean quizzes for the 2nd Nine Weeks.  That quiz grade will be on the 2nd Nine Weeks average.  
• Practice windows for the rest of the semester are: 10/1 - 10/21, 10/22 - 11/9, and 11/19 - 12/7. Each window is 3 instructional weeks.  
• A week runs from 12:01 am on Monday to 12 midnight the following Sunday.
