10th Grade English
Mrs. Mumm
Welcome! In this class, just as in most jobs and in life, there are certain rules to follow in order to give the best opportunities for success.
ROUTINES, PROCEDURES, and POLICIES
1.) Attendance
Be on time to class. When the bell rings, you need to be in your seat so we can get started.
2.) Homework/Assignments
Turn in assignments in the trays by my desk. Any assignments not turned in on time will be deducted 10% for each day late.
3.) Make-Up Work
If you miss a day of school, please check my teacher page to see what you missed. If you have questions about what you missed or about the assignment, ask a classmate FIRST. Then, if you still need assistance, ask me. If you missed a test/quiz or if you were gone more than one day, please come see me. Be sure to immediately hand in anything that was due while you were gone. It is your responsibility to pay attention to what was handed in even if you were absent.
4.) Cheating
The guidelines in the student handbook will be followed for cases of cheating and plagiarism.
5.) Cell Phone Use
In order to avoid distraction and disruption, do not use your cell phone in class unless you have been asked to use it for an educational purpose. Keep your phones in your locker or in the provided container.
6.) Laptop Usage
In order to avoid distraction and disruption, do not use your laptop in class unless you have been instructed to do so. Please be sure your laptop is fully charged on days we use it in class; I will not provide chargers or outlets to charge your laptops.
7.) Student Resource Area
The table near my desk will have supplies on it and under it for students to use. Feel free to borrow or use anything from this area but please return it. Please do not use or take anything from my desk.
8.) Dismissal
Please do not gather by the door before the bell rings. It is distracting and is not a valuable use of your time.
CLASSROOM CONDUCT
Expectations: I expect you to always do your very best and work hard at all times. If you are having difficulties with assignments or are struggling in class, I expect that you will come to see me so we can discuss those issues. All of you can succeed in my class and I expect you will.
Expectations for behavior:
-Be respectful of yourself and others. -Ask questions, seek help, and be prepared to think.
-Work hard. Do your work as thoroughly as possible; take pride in your work.
Consequences for Unacceptable Behavior:
