-

Conduct Requirement

  1. Cell phones, hats, radios, and MP3 players are not permitted in the classroom. This is a school policy.
  2. Anyone caught cheating through the use of the cell phone, another student or notes not permitted during an exam will receive an F3F and face being expelled from Scholar’s Academy. The parents and counselor will be notified as well.
  3. Students are to bring a scientific calculator to class and any other supplies necessary to take notes; such as a pencil and preferably a spiral notebook containing graph paper. Tests must be taken in pencil.

Class Absences

  1. School policy will followed with attendance. That is, in a yearly class only ten unexcused hours are permissible to be eligible for a passing grade.
  2. If your absence is unexcused you will not be permitted to make up the work and receive an F on the test or assignment.
  3. The accumulation of unsatisfactory tardies will be treated as an unexcused absence, at the teacher’s discretion.

Grading Criteria

  1. Full period tests will be announced and given throughout the grading period and graded numerically, since math teachers have agreed to use numbers rather than letter grades in their gradebook. If you miss a test or quiz due to an excused absence, you must make it up within three days after your return to school. Excessive makeup tests will not be permitted except with a doctor’s note. The topic tests' average will weigh 50% of your quarter grade.
  2. Chapter quizzes be scored numerically and be equivalent to 30% of your quarter grade.
  3. Homework will be kept in a graph-notebook and headed with the chapter and section. Assignments will be checked during the following class. Rarely will there be a no homework day, except perhaps on a test day or following a major test. Makeups are only acceptable the following class date and will be given an inferior grade. Your homework grade will be 20% of the quarter grade.
