  1. REQUIREMENTS OF THE STUDENT
  1. Students are to show respect for their classmates and teacher at all times.
  2. You are required to be on time to class with all of your materials. Textbooks should be in class each day unless the teacher specifies otherwise.
  3. You are expected to complete make-up Test/Quizzes immediately upon return.
  4. Any talking while the instructor is lecturing and/or speaking willresult in (1) a warning and (2) then your dismissal from the classroom and/or a phone call home to parents.

  6. There is a ONE DAY grace period on LATE HOMEWORKS with a penalty of a letter grade. If he/she was here the day the assignment was assigned it is due immediately upon return. If you were absent the day it was assigned you have 2 days for each day absent to turn in assignment for full credit. County Policy.
  7. The only materials allowed on the student’s desk are a notebook, textbook, calculator, and pencil.
  8. Cell Phones: I do not allow cell phone usage in my class. You must use a scientific calculator, not a calculator on your cell phone. Any cell phone usage will result in 1. request to put away, 2. phone call home, 3. referral. Any cell phone usage during a quiz/test will result in a “0”.
  9. Talking during test/quizzes will result in a grade of a “0”.
  1. ATTENDANCE POLICY

CharlotteCounty attendance policy is in effect.

  1. PLAGARISM AND CHEATING

Cheating includes (but is not limited to) giving OR receiving assistance on a test, quiz, or homework assignment for which such assistance is not permitted

Any one found cheating will be given an F on the assignment.

  1. GRADING POLICY

Grades are done on a point system and throughout any given 9-week period, there will be roughly 500-700 points. Total Points divided by total possible points times 100 = % grade. Each Classwork and Homework assignment will be 20 points. Usually there will be a quiz or a test administered every week. Each quiz will be worth between 50 points and each test will be worth 100 points.
