1.) Do not begin packing up your things until the bell rings or until I am done teaching for the day. This is my number one pet peeve!
2.) All assignments are to be submitted via Dropbox on the class website unless instructed otherwise. Written assignments will be turned in in-hand and will be three-hole punched. No name on paper=5 points off.
3.) Students who are a constant disruption during class will be given one warning before being dismissed from class and counted absent for the day. No exceptions. You all are eighth graders and I expect you to behave as such.
4.) Cheating on an exam is the easiest way to fail my class. If I catch you cheating, you will be given a 0 for the exam in question. I make many different versions for each exam, so chances are copying off your neighbor will not do you much good anyways.
5.) I allow three unexcused absences per semester. Each unexcused absence after that will deduct 5 points off your overall attendance grade. Doctor's notes, athletic events and family emergencies all constitute excused absences.
