  1. Attendance and missed work
  • You will have 5 days, including your first day back, to hand in all missed homework and/or take missed quizzes/tests. On the 6th day you will receive a zero (0) for any work not made up.
  • You will also need to make sure that you get a copy of class notes from the days of your absence.
  1. Late Arrivals
  • Please be on time for class. This means that all students are in their seats with pencils sharpened, homework out, and ready for class.
  • Late arrivals disrupt the important instruction during the first few minutes of class.
  • Thank you in advance for your cooperation, our time together is limited, so wasting even a minute or 2 while repeating directions for late comers is just that, wasteful time.
  1. Homework (reinforces what has been taught during the day)
  • Due on the next class meeting.
  • Homework will be taken late by one day, but it will be 65% of the grade. Homework not turned in will receive a zero (0).
  • Homework that requires work to be shown needs to be done on loose leaf paper, if not enough room on the paper.
  • Must be done in pencil.
  1. Behavior
  • Should be respectful to me and the others in the classroom during the lesson.
  • If a student causes too many disruptions during the class, they will be given a detention. If this disruption continues, they will be removed from the class and an office referral will be written.
  1. Tests and Quizzes
  • It is the student’s responsibility to tell parents of up coming quizzes and tests.
  • Students are expected to study and prepare for the quizzes and tests.
  1. Extra Help
  • It is the responsibility of the student to come for extra help. I’m available during pre session and lunch.
  • The time go get help is not after the student has already failed the exam.
  • Failure is preventable if the student uses all of resources that are available to them.
  1. Communication
  • Please feel free to contact me via email ()
  • By calling the school 845-457-2400 ext 19237
