Attendance and Make up Policy:
Attendance is imperative for students’ success in school. I will follow the policies outlined in the handbook. Students have 5 days after returning to school from an excused absence to make up missed work or tests that were assigned while they were absent. The student is responsible for checking the Google calendar on my website or google classroom to see what was missed. Google classroom will include notes taken and worksheets handed out. Upon returning to school, the student is responsible for checking the make-up work folder to pick up missed assignments and speaking with me to schedule a time to make up tests and quizzes.
Minor assessments will consist of class assignments, Google Form Assignments, KWL charts, and writing assignments.
Major assessments will consists of projects, essays, as well as multiple choice and short answer tests.
Late work: In order to receive credit for work, it must be submitted when it is due. 10 points will be deducted for each day it is late.
Test Corrections: Each student will be able to complete 1 test correction for each test, student must notify me at least 24 hours in advance. Student will be allowed to use any materials or resource to find the correct answer, but must explain in their own words why it is the right answer. If all answers are corrected this way, student will make up half of the missed grade. (For example: if the student made a 70 as the original grade, they can potentially make an 85 with the test make up).
Tardy policy: Students will be marked tardy if they are not in their seats by the time the bell rings or if they are late to class for any reason that is unexcused. After 3 tardies, students will be referred to an administrator in place of the usual after-school detention.
Materials:
3 ring binder with dividers
