Grades:

Students will be given a test approximately every two weeks.  Every student has the opportunity to retake each test given one time after school.  The time allotted for this is one week from the time the test was given.  There are no exceptions/extensions to this policy.  The higher of the two grades will be recorded and the lower grade will discarded.  

A student's grade is based on two factors, test grades 75% and homework/notebook grades 25%.
Progress Reports:

I will be sending progress reports periodically throughout the grading period using email.  I will also post a list of all assignments and the student’s grade (anonymously of course!) in the back of the classroom every week.

Expectations:

-Be in class on time and prepared for the lesson.

-Treat classmates and teacher with respect.

-Complete daily assignments.

- Write daily assignments and important dates in your student planner.

-Ask the teacher for help when you experience difficulty with the lesson.

-Maintain a notebook containing your notes, homework, and tests.

Policies:

-Electronics  

1st offense -  Student will receive a verbal warning.

2nd offense - The device is confiscated until the end of the school day and the student will receive an after school detention.

3rd offense – The student will be sent to their administrator with a disciplinary referral.

-Hall Passes:

Restroom and hall passes will be limited to 3 per grading period.  They can be used with permission 10 minutes after the starting bell and 10 minutes before the ending bell.

-Profanity: 

Students who use profanity will be given a 15 minute after school detention.  If the problem persists, the student will be sent to their administrator with a referral.

-Disruptive Behavior:

This is a problem that affects everyone in the learning environment.  If a student has behavior which is disruptive to the class, they will be given an 15 minute after school detention.  If the problem persists and detentions are not resolving the behavior, the student will be sent to their administrator with a disciplinary referral.
