ASSESSMENT AND GRADES:
Students will be graded on tests, individual class work, group class work, and projects. Grades will be assigned through a point system. Each assignment or test will be given a point value assigned by the teacher. Extra Credit opportunities will be available and posted throughout the year, but not on request by the student(s). Be forewarned: assignments have due dates and late work will be severely penalized. Due dates for all assignments will be posted. If you do not have your work then, it is considered late.
Grading Scale:
90-100 = A
80-89 =B
70-79 =C
60-69 =D
0-59 =F
EXPECTATIONS:
All school policies will be strictly followed for attendance, tardies, and discipline. Make sure you
read and familiarize yourself with these polices. Be prompt, prepared, respectful, and responsible. I do NOT tolerate disrespect of any kind in my classroom. Come to class on time with a willingness to learn. If you do these things your will be successful in this class.
ABSENCES:
There is no substitution for being in class. But in the event you need to be absent, you will have the number of days you were absent +1 to make up any work you missed. It is the student’s responsibility to get the missed work. Therefore, you must find out what assignments you missed immediately upon your return. Make-up work is to be turned in at the BEGINNING of class on the designated due date. IF YOU ARE ABSENT FOR A TEST, THE MAKE-UP MAY BE A DIFFERENT TEST/DIFFERENT FORMAT.
EXTRA HELP AND PARENT CONTACT:
The best way to contact me is through email. I will always respond to email by the end of the day. If you do not hear from me within one day, please contact me again. The technology that we use is not perfect and neither am I. If you do not have access to email leave a message on my voice mail and I will respond as quickly as possible. All parent conferences are made through the guidance department.
