US History
Enjoy your summer
Hello everyone,
I want to extend to all of you my sincere thanks for your grace under these extremely difficult times. I wanted to let you know that summer starts today. I am done grading work and will not be checking email regularly. If you have any questions you can email me or email Mr. Pryor -- he has access to all students' work and grades, as well as, the website with all 8 lessons for the 4th quarter.
If you need any help with anything through the rest of your high school career, please feel free to reach out to me.
Enjoy the summer,
Mr. Lord
United States History II: Reconstruction to the Present.
United States History is taught in two parts. Students in the 8th grade study the period from Colonial America to the reconstruction period after the Civil War, 1760’s to the 1870’s. Students in the 9th grade continue with a review of Reconstruction, and then will continue to study the changes our nation went through from the industrialization of the 1880’s, our growth as a world power to the events of the present

Lunch Detention
Lunch Detention Policy
Mr. Lord
Temp. 7
Overview: To make sure students come into class on time and are always ready to learn at the start of class Mr. Lord’s US History classes will have a Lunch Detention Policy. If a student is late, unexcused to class, student will be assigned a lunch detention. If student is late, absent, or does not follow the procedures of a lunch detention then two more lunch detentions will be assigned. If student is late, absent, or does not follow the procedure of a lunch detention during either of the two remaining lunch detentions, the teacher will call student’s home and write up a PS-74 to the appropriate administrator. Once a student properly complies with a lunch detention, or once a PS-74 is written the student will start with a clean slate, meaning if they are late to class again the procedures start at the beginning, i.e. student gets assigned one lunch detention.
Defining meanings:
Late unexcused:
student enters classroom one second or more after the bell to start class rings. Note: If student has a pass or if teacher/staff sends an email explaining why student was late then no lunch detention will be assigned.
Lunch Detention Procedures:
During the student’s next lunch period, (from when lunch detention was assigned) student will report to Temp. 7 before the bell rings, and will go sit in the back of the classroom quietly. If student is late to Lunch Detention then student will still serve this Lunch Detention and two more will be assigned.
Student will sit still and not distract class for the first five minutes of the period.
While sitting quietly in the back of the class for the first five minutes of the period student cannot:
Talk to anyone in my class
Use phone in anyway
Do work for another class
Read
Put head on desk
Close eyes
When the five minutes have been completed, student will stand up quietly, walk to the front of the class pick up a pass and go to the cafeteria.
If student distracts class once they leave class, i.e. shouting or causing a disruption, student will be assigned two additional lunch detentions, or if 2 more were already assigned have a teacher phone call to home and a PS-74.
