Grades
60% Tests
There will be a test at the end of each unit.
30 % Quizzes
You will be assessed on several topics but not the entire chapter.
10% Homework and Bell Ringers
Each day, class will start with a bell ringer. Complete the bell ringer on the homework paper or a blank sheet of paper if homework was not assigned. After you complete the bell ringer, communicate with a student near you about homework answers. You need to compare and discuss homework answers and seek resolution for discrepancies. Once you are finished, sit quietly until we go over the assignment as a class.
Homework is your chance to practice a new skill. Therefore, most assignments will be graded for completion unless you are told otherwise in advance. You will receive 5 points for each assignment based on homework and bell ringer completeness and homework effort (showing all work).
Passes Out of Class
Students should only leave the classroom for emergency situations. At the discretion and convenience of the teacher, the teacher may allow the student to leave the classroom to use the restroom or go to his/her locker up to three times. Future passes out will result in a consequence.
Behavior
Two or more violations of the classroom expectations in one day may result in a referral. (For Example, Student/Teacher Conference, Parent Phone Call, Stay After for Period 6, Thursday School, ISS)
Late Assignments
All assignments are due at the beginning of the period. You will lose the credit for the assignment if it is not complete by the beginning of the period.
Absent Work
If a student is absent, he/she must check Canvas to find out what is due. The homework must be turned in by the day of the unit test.
Group Work
You will be expected to work in groups on some days. You are expected to be helpful to each other, and to ask questions in your group before asking me. Groups will work at the same pace to ensure that everyone understands. Remember that you learn more when you explain the information to someone else.
