Before the bell rings

Enter the classroom in an orderly manner, bringing all needed supplies with you. Turn in homework to appropriate tray and have a quiet seat at your desk.

After the bell rings

I will take attendance while you are sitting at your desks. Fill out your planners with the daily lesson.

Work Format

All assignments will need to have your name and lesson written at the top of the page. Any work not turned in with this format will automatically receive a 1-point deduction.

Taking Tests

Tests will be an individual activity. Students will not be allowed to use notes or textbooks unless previously indicated by the teacher. No talking or getting out of your seat will be permitted. If caught cheating, you will receive a zero.

Quizzes will also be given. They have the same rules as tests except not all quizzes will be announced.

Working independently: Work in a quiet fashion doing all assigned work. Raise your hand if you have questions or need help. I will come to you.

Working in groups: Work as a team to complete assignments. Talk things over as a group and make group decisions. All group members should play an active role. NO DEAD WEIGHT ALLOWED.

Grades

Daily work, group work, quizzes and tests will all be graded on a point system. The school grading scale will be used. I do offer extra credit at times throughout the 9 weeks.

Grading Scale:

100-90 A

89-80 B

79-70 C

69-60 D

59-below F

Bathroom Rules

Bring me your student planner to sign and put phone on my desk, then you may go and use the restroom. If it is an emergency just go.

Posted Homework

Homework assignments are written on the dry erase board daily.

Absent Work

If you are absent I will put your assignment on a clip on the side of the metal cabinet. If you are sick or gone you will need to look there to find your homework. If the absence is excused the student will be allowed to complete the assignment without penalty. Unexcused absences will be a zero.

Late Work Policy

Late work will not be accepted.

Late Work Passes

Each 9 weeks’ students have two passes that let them turn in an assignment 1 day late without penalty. I will mark on your paper and in my gradebook when you use these.

Corrections

On assignments needing to be corrected I will write a C at the top. During work time I will help students with corrections.

Cell Phone Policy

Cell phones are not allowed in my classroom. I have found them to be distracting during class and an avenue that allows students easy access to sources for cheating. I will take phones brought into my classroom. I will give them back to the student unless it becomes a repeat problem then I will leave the phone in the office for you the parent to pick up.
