them)
Where is the missing work file?
Anything else you notice that might be

Rules


You must be in your seat when the
tardy bell rings, otherwise you will
be counted tardy. If you are tardy
you must report to the cafeteria (or
library during lunch block) and be
escorted back to class.
Please do not be out of your seat
unless you have permission.
Unless it is group work time or free
time, please ask to do anything:
sharpen pencil, bathroom, drink,
supplies, etc.
Rules

Inappropriate language is
unacceptable. If you’re unsure,
then don’t say it! Cussing,
bullying, and perverse language
is all unacceptable. You will
receive one warning and
anything beyond will result in an
office referral.
Rules

Cheating will not be tolerated. If I catch
you cheating you will receive an automatic
zero.

Plagiarism is unacceptable. Plagiarism will
result in a zero and an alternate
assignment will be given. It’s easy to
avoid; cite your sources. Please ask if
you do not know.

To help avoid academic dishonesty during
tests, the entire social studies department
has agreed to place any bags (purses,
backpacks or otherwise) at the front of the
classroom. Only a pencil, test, and answer
sheet will be on your desk. Everything
else will be neatly put away and hidden
under your desk
Rules

A no talking policy will generally be in effect.
Please respect the teacher and other students
when they are talking. I will not address you
during lecture unless you have raised your hand.
There will be time for class discussions, group
work, and free time; however, unless I have
allotted this time, please do not speak out of turn.
I won’t interrupt you, so don’t interrupt me.

Do not leave until I dismiss you! Keep seated!

No Cell phones during lecture time, tests,
quizzes, etc. You may listen to music during
independent work—do not abuse this privilege! I
always have the right to change this rule. If I ask
you to put your cell phone (or any electronics)
away, then promptly do so!
Rules


Hall passes will be given on a limited
basis. If you get a pass to go
somewhere, make sure you get to your
destination and get back as soon as
possible. Wandering the halls will not be
tolerated. There are teachers and
administrators on duty, so don’t wander!
To leave the classroom you must have a
hall pass, my signature, and sign out on
the departure log.
Absolutely no food or drinks (besides
water) in the classroom.
Rules

You are responsible for getting any make-up work due to an
absence. I will always keep extra worksheets and
assignments in the magazine rack next to the window. I will
try to keep an extra worksheet/assignment with your name on
it. Always check the “Missing Work” slot in the magazine rack
before grabbing a “Leftover”.

Late Work and Make-Up Policy: “When a student fails to
meet designated due dates and deadlines relating to
formative work during a unit of study, that student will receive
a maximum of 75% of the points possible for any late work
submitted on or before the summative assessment for that
particular unit. Late work during a unit of study will not be
accepted after the summative assessment for that unit has
been given for and a zero will be recorded in the grade book
for that work. A student will have seven calendar days after
the deadline/due date of a summative project, paper, or other
assignment to submit such work for a maximum of 60% of the
points possible. After the seventh calendar day, summative
work will not be accepted and a zero will be recorded in the
grade book for that work. Teachers may use discretion when
working with individual students who have verifiable
extenuating circumstances beyond their control.”

*2013-2014 Handbook
Rules

Honors World History:

Tests and quizzes can be corrected
only if a failing grade was received
(less than 60%), and only up to the
2nd Unit Test. (So that's roughly 5
weeks into school.)
Also, you can only correct ONE test
OR quiz and can receive no more
than a passing grade (60%).
Rules

Attendance Policy: “Students who are
absent for more than six (6) class periods
during the semester will not be eligible to
earn credit for that course unless a waiver
is granted through the appeals process.”

All district-wide policies and rules will
be followed in my classroom. Please
be sure to check your student
handbook for new rules and
amended procedures.
Rules
I will be available before and after
school. I will generally arrive
around 7:30am and will stay to at
least 4:00pm. If you would like to
make up a test or receive tutoring
during these times, please let me
know at least one day ahead. I
would be more than happy to
accommodate your needs.


Physical Violence and Disruptions
If a student becomes physical toward the
teacher or another student, stay calm!
I hope a situation like this does not occur;
however, if it does here is the plan.
I will designate one student in each block
to get help. They will use the call button
and get another teacher immediately. For
safety and accountability issues, the
teacher must stay in the classroom as a
witness and protector. Students must back
away from the situation and protect
themselves. DO NOT leave the room
unless I have given you permission!
Expectations


Emergency Situations
In an emergency situation, the teacher will
always direct the students. In a severe
weather situation, students will move into
Mrs. Christal’s room across the hall room
201. In a fire situation, or other emergency
evacuation, students will exit the outside
doors right outside the classroom (south or
left out the classroom door). Once outside,
we will meet as a class by the building
trades’ structure for role call.


Assignments/Grading
Students will work on a variety of assignments from
individual work to cooperative learning.
Grades are calculated on total points and the
standard school grading scale is used, which you
will find in the student handbook. Grades are
updated about every three weeks and available for
viewing on SIS.
60% Summative (tests, projects, major
assignments), 25% Formative (homework, quizzes,
daily worksheets), and 15% cumulative final exam
Extra Credit: Extra credit, when offered as part of a
curricular unit and at the discretion of the teacher,
will not exceed 3% of a student’s grade.

*No extra credit assignments will be given in this class.

As per school policy, a cumulative final exam is
given near the end of every semester and is worth
15% (fifteen percent) of the student’s final grade.
