Welcome to 9th grade World Geography. I am so excited to have you in my class at Cedar Ridge High School! Below are a few important items that will help make you successful in my class this year.

YEAR AT A GLANCE:

Below is a general overview of what we will be learning this year.

1. Patterns and Processes
2. Human Geographic Systems
3. Human Environmental Interaction
4. Demographics and Population Trends
5. Economic Development
6. Character of Place

REQUIRED SUPPLIES:

1. Students are required to bring the following supplies to class. They are used extensively for projects, and class work. Supplies will need to be replenished throughout the school year. These supplies are to be obtained by Monday, August 27th.

• Pocket folder with brads
• 3-Ring Binder
• Pencils
• Paper
• Colored map pencils
• Handheld pencil sharpener
• 1 Box of Kleenex
• Hand Sanitizer

GRADING POLICY: Your grade in World Geography will be determined by the following:

Major Grades (40%)

• Test and Projects

Minor Grades (60%)

• Daily Assignments
• Other/Miscellaneous Assignments
• Quizzes

HOMEWORK: Any class work not completed during class time will need to be completed and turned in the following class period. If it is not received, it will be decreased by 10 points each day it is not turned in to me.

IMPROVING MAJOR GRADES:

• Students must complete all missing assignments before improving major grades. Students will have 5 days from the moment the assignment is returned to qualify for improvement. Tutoring is available for any student in need of assistance. The higher of the two grades will be recorded.

LATE WORK: ALL late assignments will receive a maximum grade of 75%.

RETESTING: Any quiz/test can be re-taken. ONLY if you speak with me, and go over the quiz/test you failed with me.

MAKE–UP WORK FOR ABSENT STUDENTS:

All assignments will be located in the designated make-up area in the classroom. It is the responsibility of THE STUDENT to collect any and all handouts and to make sure that all assignments are made up. If a student misses only one day of school, he or she has 3 school days to make up the work. After the first day, students will have one additional day for every day they were absent. Arrangements can be made with me for extenuating circumstances. If a student has questions regarding the work, it is their responsibly to attend tutoring.

ONLINE GRADEBOOK:

All grades may be viewed online using HAC (Home Access) through the district. Parents must contact the front office to receive their student’s access.

I am looking forward to an exciting year!
