OPEN HOUSE
Binders
• Binders will be checked and graded in the AVID class
weekly. Binders will be graded for organization,
Cornell notes, materials & supplies, a completed daily
planner, daily “to do” lists, and learning goals and
scales. If you are absent for Binder Check, due to
illness, you may request a Binder Check on the day
you return. Additional binder checks by mentors
occur throughout the year so binders must be
organized at all times. A minimum of three (2) pages
of Cornell notes/learning logs are required for EACH
CLASS each week for a total of ten (10).
Classwork, Homework, and Projects
• Class work and homework assignments
are designed to help students to
develop personally and academically
and to ultimately prepare them for
college and a career. Essays will be
written in MLA format.
• There will be numerous individual and
group projects each semester.
Tutorials
• Students will be graded on each tutorial session.
Students earn points for their questions,
participation, and reflection during the tutorial
process. Since tutorials are a collaborative effort,
students must be present and participate to receive
credit. Students who are absent due to illness may
make up points by completing a tutorial by visiting
one of the learning centers and having a teacher
present help and sign off on their tutorial paper.
• Tutors will assist students on their path towards
arriving at answers, but they will not provide the
answers for students.
Portfolio
• Students will collect specified
documents to be placed in a portfolio.
Portfolios will be assessed at least once
per semester
Homework
• Homework is due at the beginning of
the class period.
• Any assignments turned in late will be
worth HALF credit unless you have an
excused absence.
Warm-Ups
• At the beginning of each class period, there
will be a warm-up activity.
• You will get a weekly handout for recording
your warm-up answers.
• You cannot turn in a warm-up on a separate
paper.
• All the warm-ups for the week must be on the
same handout, turned in every Friday
Class Rules/Expectations
1) Follow all rules and procedures outlined in
the student handbook
2) Treat teachers, fellow students, guest
speakers, and property with respect
3) No food or drink in class expect for water
4) No cell phones or headphones will be used
during class. If they are out, they will be
confiscated. After your first offense, your
cell phone will be turned in to administration
5) Sit in your assigned seat everyday
Restroom Pass
• ONE person may leave the class at a time
• They must sign-out in my book, including the date,
your name, the class period, and the time you left
the room
• You must also write down the time you return
• You CANNOT leave the room without the blue pass
• If you fail to follow these procedures, you will not be
allowed to leave the classroom during class
• You CANNOT leave the classroom for a drink of
water. Bring a water bottle with you if you are
thirsty.
Evacuations/ Lock Down
• Evacuation (Fire Drill):
– Leave binders, notebook, materials; take purses &
backpacks
– Walk QUIETLY out the front door, through the double
doors, and to the left in front of the pool
– Stay TOGETHER there until “All Clear”
• Lockdown:
– I will lock all the doors, turn lights off & put up a GREEN
sign in the front door window
– If you are in bathroom or hallway, get to class ASAP!
– All students will stay away from the doorway
– NO TALKING!!!
Tardies/Sweeps
You are considered tardy if you are not in the classroom when the
bell rings. If you are not in the room when the last bell rings, you
will be sent to the sweep room.

If you are swept when as assignment is due, you must turn in
that assignment that day to receive full credit

If you miss a test or quiz while you are in sweeps, you must
come to my room right after school to make up that test or the
grade will result in a zero

It is your responsibility to get any notes or assignments that
were given during the class that you missed.

If you are swept more than 3 times, your make-up work will
not be accepted and all missing assignments will be entered as
zeros.
The sweep-make up work procedures also apply to missing class
for ISD or evening school
Attendance
• If you are absent from school for any reason,
make sure your parents call the attendance
office at (480) 812-7703.
• Failure to call the attendance office within 24
hours of the absence will result in an
unexcused absence.
• If your absence is unexcused, you will NOT
be allowed to make-up any missed
assignments, quizzes, or tests.
Make-Up Work
• You are responsible for all work you
miss if you are not in class.
• I will not accept make-up work for full
credit unless your absence was
excused.
• You can get copies of missed class
work and assignments from the makeup work folders.
Beginning of Class Procedures
When you enter the classroom everyday,
you need to do the following:
1) Sit in your assigned seat
2) Get started on the warm-up on the
board or overhead
3) Work quietly until further instruction
