Totem Middle School

  • Strive to be the best you can be!
  • Turn in all assignments.
  • Do your assignments neatly (or you may be asked to re-do them).
  • Turn in assignments on time! Late assignments earn a maximum of 80% (one week), and then 70% after that.
  • After an assignment is graded, re-do, correct and revise it if you feel it was not your best work, and you would like to earn a higher score (up to a B+, 89%).
  • Follow all school and class rules.
  • Keep track of the classroom homework assignments in a planner or in your notebook.

Important Classroom Practices:

Be Prepared to Learn

Be on Time

Late Work Policy

You may turn in and re-do assignments until the last week of each trimester. Enough time is provided in class to complete most assignments. If you do not complete an assignment in class, you need to complete outside of class.

Late work up to one week past the due date: minus 20%

Late work turned in during second week past the due date and later: minus 30%

You are welcome to come into my room before school, during Advisory or after school to work on computers if you need to.

Teacher Humor:

The geography teacher was lecturing on map reading. After explaining about latitude, longitude, degrees and minutes, the teacher asked, "Suppose I asked you to meet me for lunch at 23 degrees, 4 minutes north latitude, and 45 degrees, 15 minutes east longitude?"

After a confused silence, a voice volunteered, "I guess you'd be eating alone."
