    1. Save all work and back it up in Google Drive, as "I couldn't access my project" will not be seen as a valid excuse.
    2. If it's the last A Day of the week, submit the week's Classwork as an Exit Ticket.
    3. Properly shut down your assigned computer and line up, prepared to go to lunch.
    4. Exit Tickets are always 10 point Classwork grades and not eligible for late submission. Exit Tickets handed in on time are eligible for re-submission within 10 calendar days of feedback, with old and new grades averaged. (It is always better to hand in as much as possible on time, even if not complete.) Exit Tickets are due during the last 10 minutes of the last class of the week.
