***ATTENTION**** If you are out of school for ANY reason, your assignment will be marked MISSING. Once you turn it in, the "M" will be removed. You have one day for each day you are absent; after that, you can only earn half credit. Be sure to check here for assignments. There may be handouts or online work (HMHEd or Google Classroom) for each assignment. After 5 days, no credit will be earned, and you will receive a 0 in the gradebook.
*If you come to class unprepared (missing your Chromebook, textbooks, any material, etc), you will be given a tardy. It is your JOB to come prepared to class on time.
*At times in my courses, we will watch films. If you do not want your child to view any movies, please let me know. You can check my lesson plans to see what we are doing each week. Thank you.

Grading
Grading
Your grade in this class is determined by your percentage of the total points offered. All assignments are weighted the same. Therefore, a 50-point presentation is worth the same as a 50-point assessment. The grading scale is as follows: A=90-100, B=80-89%, C=70-79%, D=60-69%. Grades are rounded up. Plus and minus grades are possible; i.e., 89.5% = A-. Please check the school's Infinite Campus Grading Portal to stay informed of your current grade. Late work will result in a reduction of points.

Absences/Tardies
Absences/Tardies
If you are absent, you are responsible for getting your work. The lesson plans are on this site, so there is no excuse for not knowing what you missed. If you know you will be absent from class for any reason, check this site or ask Mrs. Pulju for the assignment before your absence. A student is considered tardy if they are not in their seat at the bell or have come to class without their book/materials.
