Whaples' History

Welcome to Whaples' History Class

Take note of the navigation list to the far left of the screen. This will follow you from page to page to make it easy to always find your way around. Whether looking for specific links to classes, info about me, how to join our daily text message club, parent resources, or THE VERY important "Whaples History Calendar" (where you will find links to all lessons, handouts, and daily plans along with coinciding dates), you will find it all on this interactive website.

IMPORTANT ATTENDANCE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Did you miss school? Did you forget to LOG IN at the designated online class time? Were you sick? Out of town? Family Emergency? Or just want to stay involved in your student's success, then Canvas is YOUR BEST ONE STOP ANSWER! Canvas has all courses the student is enrolled in along with lesson plans, and a calendar showing all work. **Please understand it is each student's responsibility to make up any work they miss due to an absence. Thorough lesson plans and all material needed will be available through Canvas.

Cheating and plagiarism-

While collaboration is HIGHLY ENCOURAGED, students are not to cut and paste ANY work from ANY SOURCE. Any student caught copying will share the grade. Share the work, share the grade. Any student caught in plagiarism will receive a zero and referral submitted to administration.

Student’s voice and perspective is the purpose and goal!

Whaples Late/Missing Work Policy:

Grades are entered DAILY. If an assignment is not turned in the grade will be entered as a ZERO.

If a student is missing work, Whaples' Class policy grants till the week before the end of the quarter to submit all missing work for full credit.

The goal is NOT the grade but for student to know, understand, and apply History.

Tardy Policy

Any student who is not IN THE CLASSROOM (online or in person) when the bell rings IS TARDY. If you are not IN THE CLASSROOM when the bell rings YOU ARE TARDY.

Being near the room doesn't count.

To be counted present, students MUST attend at least 30 minutes of the class.
