Rules, Procedures & Tutoring

1) Follow all policies of the Hough High School Honor Code

2) Tardies – enforced via Hough policy (no exceptions)

3) Behavior – I give you one warning, after that, two or more disruptions will result in being dismissed from class and

you will be sent to ISS.

4) Absences – It is up to you to get missed notes and assignments the day you return to school! If you do not make up

the assignments/tests within FIVE days, the assignment will be late and the maximum possible score will be a 70%.

If you do not make up a test within five days, the test will fall under the retesting policy. This allows you to take the test

within 10 days with a maximum score of 79%.

5) Leaving Class – one person may leave at a time. You must sign out and back in when you return.

You will not be able to leave the first and last 15 minutes of class or while we are taking notes unless there is an emergency.

6) Cell Phones/Electronics – School policy is zero tolerance for cell phones out at any time.

Be on time and prepared for class

This includes having all materials, including homework, and beginning the warm-up that is provided.

Be respectful

Being respectful does not only mean to the teacher in the room, it also means students should show respect to other

teachers, classmates, custodial staff, cafeteria staff, and any other person they should encounter during the day.

Be responsible

Being responsible means to be conscientious for personal and school property and for one's actions.

Students are also responsible for their own learning.

Be at the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing.

Per William A. Hough High School Policy, AP tests with a score lower than 79% can be retaken:

• Students must complete remediation before the retest.
• Maximum possible score for a retest is a 79%.
• The retest grade is the new test grade regardless if the score is lower.
• Students must complete the retesting process within 2 weeks of the exam grades being posted on Quia.
• Retests are only available on unit exams.
• Retesting does not apply to the Mid-Term or Final Exams, quizzes, projects, or other classroom assignments.

Students are responsible for finding out what they missed by checking the assignment sheet posted on the

World History/Human Geography page of this site. Most items can be accessed using the links on the assignment sheet.

In the event that we do not have an electronic version, the assignments will be located in the classroom crate.

The highest on any late work will be a 70%

All make-up work is due within a week of your return from being absent and will be accepted until the end of the quarter,

including exams.

BUT, if you turn in any assignments after that first week, it is considered late and

the maximum possible score will be a 70%.

If you miss a test, you must make arrangements to make up the test within 5 days of your return.

If you do not, the test will then fall under the re-test policy listed on this page with

a maximum possible score of a 79%.

If you were here the day something was due but did not turn it in, you can still turn it in until the end of the quarter,

but for a late grade.
