Supplies
Folder, calculator, notebook paper, pen or pencil, textbook, current chapter handouts and passes. (Blue or Black ballpoint pens are the only colors allowed to use in class),
Passes
Three passes are allowed per quarter for the restroom, locker, office, and drinks. Use them wisely; students will not be allowed to leave the room once they are used unless they are willing to take a tardy. Bring your passes to class every day.
Tardies
If late to class, students will not be allowed into class without a tardy printout from the office. Detentions for tardies will be issued from the office.
Absences
Students are allowed to make up work for excused absences. If a student is absent when a homework assignment is collected for a grade, that assignment is due immediately upon the student’s return. When absent, students are given one day for each day absent to make up all work. It is the students responsibility to pick up the work from the absent sheet tray.
Phones
The use of phones in the classroom will NOT be allowed. Upon entering the classroom, it will be your responsibility to put your phone in the designated area. Phones should be off and in the designated area during the entire class period. You may retrieve your phone when class is dismissed.
Homework/Late Work Policy
- Most assignments will be due at the end of the class period.
- Assignments due the next class period are due at the beginning of that class period.
- Google Classroom Assignments need to be turned in before the time it is due.
- All written homework needs to be turned in to the homework tray.
- Late homework assignments will only be accepted one day late. All late assignments will result in no more than 50% of the total points for that assignment.
- If a student needs help on an assignment, they should come in before or after school before the assignment is due to get help.
Tests
Students are expected to take tests on test day. If you are absent on a test day, you will need to schedule a time before school to come in and make the test up. All tests have to be made up before the end of a grading period. Any tests not made up will result in a zero.
