How to Earn Credit

PRODUCTIVE PERIODS VS UNPRODUCTIVE PERIODS

What is a Productive Period?

A productive class period is essential to succeed at Cal Hills. A productive period suggests a student is participating in class, completing the classwork assigned, and showing good behavior towards teachers, staff and other students.

What is an Unproductive Period?

Unproductive periods are detrimental to a student's success at Cal Hills. What constitutes an unproductive period is if a student refuses to do classwork or participate in class activities or displays disrespectful behavior towards teachers, staff and other students.
