Major Emphasis of the Course
The goal of this organization is to plan events for the students in the Global Leadership & Environmental Action Magnet and seek out opportunities for students to engage with the fields related to our magnet's theme. Within the GLEAM RISE Council we discuss ways to encourage student participation in activities and ways that we can improve the experience of students in the GLEAM and John F. Kennedy HS. Members of RISE Council actively Represent the Interests of Students and the Environment. This class meets one year of the University of California 'g' requirement for an elective course.

Tardies: Zero period begins at 7:30 and students are expected to be on time to class. Any zero period student arriving in class after 7:45 AM will be marked tardy. Homeroom only students need to be in class by 8:30 AM but are expected to do their best to arrive early when possible. The JFKHS TARDY POLICY (posted in class) will be strictly enforced.

Adherence to the HONOR CODE
HONOR CODE: All students will abide by the HONOR CODE. Student signature on all required assignments (including homework, tests, quizzes, labs, etc.) will signify agreement to the HONOR CODE that expects students to complete their own work without the assistance of others or plagiarizing others. Plagiarizing means taking the words from someone else and passing them off as your own. This means “copying” texts or references or another student’s paper and claiming credit for it as your own work. Copying homework will result in no credit for the assignment, forfeiture of any bonus points, and a U for the quarter grading period. Two such infractions will result in a possible U in cooperation on the semester grade. Cheating on exams/quizzes receives no credit and a U in cooperation on the semester grade.
