
One person speaks at a time. Be respectful of each other.



All home work and class work is to be completed and turned in on time. Failure to hand
work in by the due date will result in the loss of points. The maximum grade for any
late work is a 75.
Being Prepared:
Students are expected to be prepared each day. Being prepared means that students must
bring the following to class each day. Failure to be prepared will result in a zero for class work for the
day and will adversely affect the student’s marking period grade.
1. Your Binder
2. Pens and pencils – you should have at least 2 of each with you
3. a supply of loose leaf. A single sheet or a couple of sheets is NOT sufficient!
Tests and Quizzes:
Both tests and quizzes will be taken from notebook material as well as handouts and material
found in the textbook. Please note that certain test and quiz questions will be taken from homework
assignments. If you legally absent on the day of an exam, the make up for that exam is 7am of the
day you return to school. If you missed an exam because of an unexcused absence, this cannot be
made up.
Homework:
Homework is assigned in accordance with District policy. Should a student be absent, the
STUDENT is responsible for contacting me or another student to obtain any missing notes or
assignments. Being absent does not excuse a student from an assignment. You can always
email me or check the class website to find out what homework was assigned.
Contacting me:
Should it be necessary for you or your child to contact me, I can be reached using several
methods. I am available before or after school, by telephone or by way of e-mail.
