Expectations

In Class

Come to class prepared - notebook, pencil, calculator, charged chromebook.

No phones during class.  Phones should be put away and zipped in a bag, not on the desk.  Parents, students will likely not respond to a text message right away.

Use class time wisely, work with peers, ask questions.

at home

Homework may include practice problems, watching videos, finishing a lab report, or studying for tests and quizzes.

Due to the nature of the fall semester and the exam given in May, a 5 week review will be offered in April & May.  Students are expected to study on their own and multiple in-person sessions will be offered before school, after school, during 3rd block, and a few Saturdays.  Review books (Barron's is my favorite) are useful and online resources are available.  I recommend using AP Classroom and Mr. Smedes YouTube channel.

Students are expected to join AP Classroom and utilize the resources there.

absences

If a student is absent, the first stop is Google Classroom.  If you know about an absence in advance, please let the teacher know.  Emailing when out is also the best way to keep up.  

If a student is absent, a zero will be put in the gradebook as a placeholder. The student will then have five days to complete any missing work. See the Late Work Policy in the syllabus for grading after 5 days.
