Extra Credit Opportunities
See Mr. Minich if you are interested in pursuing any of the extra credit opportunities listed on this page. Some of the activities are only available on a "first-come, first-serve" basis. If you do sign up for an activity, be sure to meet the deadline or you will lose the ability to submit extra credit in remaining marking periods. A maximum of 3% points of extra credit can be earned in a marking period.
IMPORTANT: For activities in which you must write a Web page, be sure to follow the current style sheet specs or you may not receive extra credit.
