Rules: RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT TIME, RIGHT ACTION, RIGHT ATTITUDE

It is an expectation that you will ACT RIGHT and have all materials necessary to be prepared for class every day. SISD Student Handbook and Code of Conduct policy will govern classroom behavior.

Class Goals: Improve our knowledge of the world’s history and prepare for life in a community (school, town, church…). Good character, empathy and compassion for others and a value for learning will all be developed through the positive relationships we build in the classroom. We will always have this plan and purpose and we must both be a piece of the pie!

Coursework/Grading: SISD policy weights daily work at 50% and tests at 50% of your six weeks average. Work needs to be turned in on time to avoid falling behind or any other negative consequences. Any make ups or re-takes will need to be taken care of ASAP . Tutorials can be addressed as needed and by appointment.
