Please note…this is NOT A LUNCHROOM!! No food or drinks in the classroom. PLEASE NOTE: NO technological devices (cell phones, Ipods, PSPs, walkmans, etc. ) allowed in the classroom. MISSED MATERIAL It is the STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY to make up material missed due to an illness or a school related absence. This may be accomplished by contacting a classmate, picking up missed notes, attempting the homework and then, pursuing extra help. Extra help is available by appointment with your teacher!! TESTS/MISSED TESTS Students are expected to be present for ALL math tests. Where possible, personal appointments should be made after school hours. 1. If a student knows in advance that he/she will be away for a test, he/she must approach the teacher with the valid reason at least two days PRIOR to the test date to make alternate arrangements. 2. If a student is absent on the day of a test, a phone call from a parent/guardian MUST be made to the school before noon on the test day. Within two days of the student’s return, he/she must make arrangements with the teacher to make up the test. If no arrangements are made, a mark of zero will be assigned and the parents will be contacted. Note: NO test marks will be dropped and NO rewrites will be permitted. Bonus marks will be awarded toward the test mark for having it signed by a parent/guardian and for having it corrected (by the designated deadline). LATE ASSIGNMENTS An assignment must be handed in the day it is due. It will be considered late after that time. A mark reduction of 10% will be applied to all major assignments submitted late. The teacher will contact the parents within two day after the due date. If the assignment is not submitted within 3 days of the phone call, the assignment will not be accepted and a mark of zero will be assigned. Minor assignments will not be accepted after the others have been returned. An alternative assignment and timeline may be arranged. PLAGIARISM It is theft to use the words or ideas of any other person as if they were your own without acknowledging the source. This applies to any written work, or visual source which includes computers, Internet, etc. Cheating on tests, quizzes, and exams is also a form of plagiarism. PLAGIARISM IS A SERIOUS ACADEMIC OFFENCE. STUDENTS WHO ARE GUILTY OF THIS OFFENCE INVITE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES eg. the paper will be confiscated and the work will be given a mark of zero. .....................................................................
