Policies
Uniform Policy:
After 3 incomplete uniform notices have been given, the student will lose the privilege of having a free dress day.
Test Taking Policy:
Any communication will not be tolerated from the moment the teacher signals for quiet. This includes verbal communication, or any physical gestures such as hand gestures or mouthing words. Failure to follow this rule will result in loss of points or a “0” on the test plus a conference may be held.
Tardies / Absences:
Everyone has emergencies & gets sick. It is when there are consistent absences & tardies that a student may have difficulty catching up to the materiel learned that day.
1. Please provide a note written in the agenda
2. Please pick up the assignments & turn them in on the dates requested.
3. Students MAY NOT receive full credit on assignments that were due and not turned in because of absences. They are due on the date given at the beginning of the school day.
Absent Work: An absent folder will be kept for the student of all class & homework assignments. The student is expected to retrieve assignments including coming to school to pick up & drop off assignments, contact classmates, and checking the website.
Homework:
* I do not believe in assignments given simply as “busy work”
*Homework will reflect the skills that we are covering
*You may have homework Monday – Thursday
*I typically DO NOT assign homework on Fridays as I believe we all need to replenish for the week.
* Homework can be assignments started in class so a student who wastes time may have more HW
*Homework is usually graded as Credit/No Credit so this can be a great way to earn points before your test.
*Consequences for not turning in your Homework: You will not receive the necessary review before assessments & easy points to help raise your grade.
- Remember that you are expected to write down all your assignments in your agenda daily.
- Students are given 15 minutes at the end of the day to write down all assignments and ask questions before they leave.
- One of our "Must Dos" is to write down all homework and gather materials if a student happens to be done early with any assignments in class.
- The website may not be updated if the teacher is absent or has to leave early.
- Students that are absent are still responsible for all homework unless excused by the teacher.
