Class Dojo Grade Update!

I have decided to enter the Responsible Behavior grade monthly instead of weekly.  Instead of students trying to reach 4 points per day, the grade will be based of the percentage of positive Dojo points they have for the month.  I have already entered September's grade and deleted the previous weekly grades.

If you have any further questions, please let me know.
