Course Description
The purpose of this course is to help students understand all God has done for us
through his Son, Jesus Christ. Through this course of study, students will learn that for
all eternity, God has planned for us to share eternal happiness with him, which is
accomplished through the redemption Christ won for us. Students will learn that they
share in this redemption only in and through Jesus Christ. They will also be introduced
to what it means to be a disciple of Christ and what life as a disciple entails.
Objective

in the Life, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Evaluation
Grading will be comprised of homework assignments, tests, quizzes and projects.
Grading is based on the point system. Grades will be calculated as a percentage of
points earned versus points possible. The grade scale for the class is the same as that
listed in the Blue Book. A zero will be entered into the grade book for a missing
assignment until the assignment is turned in and graded. Grades may be accessed
through Power School. The Final Exam is worth 10% of the semester grade.
Anytime a reading assignment is given there is the potential for an open note quiz.
Any notes used on an open-note test or quiz must be hand written. In the event the
student has hand written the notes in an app, the notes must be printed out.

Homework Policy
All homework which is submitted electronically is to be time stamped no later than 7:45am on the day it is due. Electronic assignments
are to be submitted to the appropriate class email address. Written assignments are due at the beginning of the class period. Any
homework turned in after that is considered late. Late work is worth 10% less, therefore, a perfect but late assignment is worth 90%. Any
homework not handed in will merit a 0%. Any missing assignment must be turned in, no later than 1 week prior to the end of the Quarter
in order to receive any credit. Missing assignments will not be accepted beyond this deadline, thus earning a 0%.
All homework must be worthy of a Cathedral High School student: all questions are to be answered to the best of the student’s ability;
proper MLA heading must be used; sloppy or illegible work will be returned to the student to be done in an acceptable manner – the
resubmitted work will be considered late and subject to a 10% reduction.
Students are expected to be proactive. In the event of an extenuating circumstance, it is the student’s responsibility to make arrangements
with the instructor, prior to the due date of the assignment, test or quiz.
Cheating Policy
Please refer to the Blue Book for the official policy of Cathedral High School. This policy will be strictly enforced. Cheating includes,

While it is acceptable to collaborate on notes while studying, it is cheating to submit someone elses notes as your own for a
grade, or for an open note test or quiz
Make-Up Policy
Students are expected to be proactive, therefore it is the student’s responsibility to make arrangements to make up any missed work,
secure any handouts that were distributed during the absence, etc. The amount of time given to make up any missed work (work that was
assigned on the day of the absence, not work that was assigned previous to the absence), including tests and quizzes, is the number of
days absent.
Daily updates, including assignments, what was done in class, and test and quiz dates are posted on the instructor’s web page at the end of
each school day. It is the student’s responsibility to check the web page.
Digital Citizenship

●
Students are allowed to use their iPad when prompted by the teacher
Students need to use the iPad only as instructed by the teacher (unauthorized use of the iPad for messaging, gaming, videos, etc.
