2–5 min late

1.5

Slightly late; teacher discretion for borderline cases

5–15 min late

0.5

Documentation required for discretionary scores

Document any makeup meeting point restorations in col E. Document any discretionary punctuality adjustments in col E. These notes protect you in any appeals.

Regular Engagement — 5% — CourseGrades col D — 0 to 5 per section

Regular Engagement

Assess both DDF participation and digital textbook login frequency for full-time students. DDF is required daily. Missing posts may reduce the score even with strong textbook activity. For part-time students, assess textbook logins primarily.

Score	Regular semester indicators	Summer school indicators
5/5	Strong DDF + textbook logins across multiple days. Both venues active throughout the week.	DDF 100% required. Strong daily posts + textbook activity. Primary measure is DDF.
3–4/5	Moderate. Present most days but not fully consistent in one or both venues.	Moderate DDF. Some days missed. Award 4 for mostly present, 3 for partial.
1–2/5	Minimal. Work concentrated in one or two sessions. Sparse DDF.	Sparse DDF. Little evidence of daily presence.
0/5	No recorded activity in either venue for the section.	No DDF posts for the section.

Part-time policy

Part-time students: textbook logins are the primary measure. Voluntary DDF by a part-time student may raise a weak textbook score by up to 1 point at your discretion — recovery only, not a bonus.

Faith-in-Action — 5% — CourseGrades col B — credit per section

Faith-Based Community Values in Action (Faith-in-Action)

Students select one of ten ESLRs faith-in-action standards in their pre-meeting reflection and describe specifically how they practiced it. You assess genuineness and specificity.

Credit	Criteria
100%	Reflection submitted. Standard selected. Specific genuine description of how it was practiced. One concrete growth step identified for next section.
50%	Reflection submitted. Something genuine attempted but vague, generic, or missing the growth step. Teacher discretion applies.
0%	Not submitted. Or submitted but faith-in-action section empty or clearly hollow.

Qualifying venues: DDF engagement, prayer forum, club participation, service activities, acts of encouragement
Non-Christian students are fully eligible — genuine character and community values in practice earn full credit
Repeated hollow submissions (3+ in a semester): document and notify parent
Document any partial credit decisions in Notes
