ZMS

Zeros Must Stop• Zeros dramatically impact student success.

• Zeros are closely correlated with student failure.

• Zeros afford students the opportunity to opt out of critical learning.

How does ZMS work?When a student fails to turn in a homework assignment:

1.

The teacher will have the student write down the missing assignment on a sheet of paper.

2.

The student will complete and attach the ZMS Student Assignment Slip to the assignment.

How does ZMS work?3.

The teacher will give the student a ZMS Pass and have the student write his/her name and the date on the pass.

4.

Two minutes before their lunch begins, the student will show their ZMS pass to the teacher and report to the cafeteria to pick up their lunch.

How does ZMS work?5.
