EVHS - HEALTH

This class is a HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION REQUIREMENT. If you pass this class, you will be 5 credits closer to graduation. It goes by very quickly. Staying on top of everything is your responsibility and is very important.

______is RESPONSIBLE for bringing the following to class EVERYDAY: (these are the basic essentials that will get you through your day)

  • Your notebook (binder) complete with subject dividers, paper, pencils, pens, highlighter, etc.
  • A Journal Book to write down the Daily Agenda and answer the Essential Question of the day
  • A positive attitude….remember……“If it’s important….make it happen”….

Organization and demonstrating the ability to keep track of your things is a very important part of your successes in high school and beyond. I STRONGLYrecommend that you use a Binder!!!

Academic Grade

Your grade in this class (A, B, C, Fail) is dependent on how you perform on the given assignments. Since this class includes values awareness (your thoughts and feelings on a particular topic), your grade will be based on responses that are neatly written,well, thought out and supported with explanations. You have total control over your academic grade…what grade do you want to earn???

Work Habits (for each 5 weeks)

This is based on neatly completed assignments (with complete heading), reviewed for errors, and turned in on due date. You decide what grade you want….an “E”, “S”, or “U”. Since you have total control over this part of your Report Card, choose your grade:

0 - 2 missing assignments = E (excellent)

3 - 5 missing assignments = S (satisfactory)WHAT DO YOU WANT TO EARN????

6+ missing assignments = U (unsatisfactory)

Cooperation (for each 5 weeks)

This part of your Report Card is dependent on how you present yourself in class. Again, your choices here are “E”, “S”, or “U”. This includes MANNERS, language (profanity), gum / eating, cell phone, iPod, etc. Do not arrive late to this class.

0 - 2 times late = E (excellent)

3 - 5 times late = S (satisfactory)WHAT DO YOU WANT TO EARN????

6+ times late = U (unsatisfactory)

REMEMBER, “CHARACTER COUNTS”……. What do you want to earn???

Absences and Being Tardy

Not attending class or arriving late will definitely have an adverse effect on your overall grade in your class. This includes P.O./court dates, activity/field trip, illness, etc. Be warned that the best you can do on work that is turned in late (unexcused absence) is ½ credit (one week late). After that, no credit will be given. There will be opportunities for extra credit assignments. They MUST be turned in on the due date. No late extra credit assignments will be accepted. If something is passed out to you and you lose it, it is your responsibility to get it from another student who has it. Save all of your assignments. If you are absent on a day that I show a video or have a guest speaker, please see me for the alternate assignment.

EVHS SCHOOL-WIDE ESTABLISHED RULES…..

No food, gum, electronics, or drink (except water, NO SHARING / WATERFALLS), are acceptable in the confines of your classroom. If I detect any of the a-fore-mentioned in class, they will be taken away. Your parent / guardian must come to EVHS to retrieve any confiscated electronics. At this time, cell phones are to be turned off during class. Failure to exercise these rules will have an adverse effect on your Cooperation grade in your class.

Do not ask to leave class for any reason. Take care of your personal needs on your own time.
