** Power School is updated every night with the most up-to-date papers graded and recorded so please refer to Power School to see if your student is missing any work.
Assignments:
- We do dailywork/classwork everyday so students must have books and materials with them every class in order to participate.
- All graded assignments are returned and kept in 3-ring binder that students have so they can use them to study with, as well as, use as proof of completion if there is ever a discrepancy.
- Vocabulary will be checked periodically and count as a grade in my class.
- Notebooks will be checked periodically and counts as a grade based on organization and having papers that were returned inside them.
- Homework will be given on almost everyday day, except on test days. They will have a limited amount of time to begin in class and the remaining problems should be completed at home and turned in the next class period.
Absences:
- If absent, the best thing to do is check with another classmate or send an email to me asking for missing assignment so you can begin prior to returning since we see each other every other day. My email address is [email protected]
- All work missed due to absence whether you were sick, doctor’s appointment, or on vacation you are responsible to make-up.
Discipline plan:
- I want you in class to learn so please show up with a positive, productive attitude!
- I do not want to send anyone to the office for any reason as you being out of the class takes away from your learning, but if necessary I will involve administration.
- No food in class, WATER bottles acceptable, but remember your bathroom privileges are limited.
- Bathroom visits will be by individual basis. I will understand emergencies, but not lack of being responsible because you chose to not go between classes. If you have a medical concern, please submit a note to the nurse/office so they can have it on file.
- 1st offense – meet with teacher
- 2nd offense – meet with teacher and parent phone call/email
- 3rd offense – meet with teacher, parent, and administrator
