I remember hearing some thing about Fairfax county not allowing zeros. What is the lowest grade in Arlington? Can kids still get zeros? Just thinking about fourth quarter and final push.

APS does allow zeroes. However some teachers or schools use a 50 as the lowest grade so that one assignment doesn't tank a student's whole grade and there is a way to still salvage if an assignment is missed. I believe it's on a department by department basis.

Usually if a kid misses an assignment it's entered as 0/missing and then the student gets points docked for turning it in late (depending on teacher; see syllabus)
