Electronic Devices:
The presence and/or use of ALL electronic devices seen or used in class will be immediately confiscated and turned in to the main office. Parents/guardians will then be required to pick up these items at their convenience. DO NOT make this an issue.
Passes:
Please do not ask to leave the room unless it is an emergency or you have a signed pass from another teacher. Make sure to have your necessary supplies in class, you will not be allowed to your locker, as it is disruptive to the class. If you must use the lavatory please do so at the beginning of the period; there will be passes in the front of the room and a sign out book.
Grades:
Your grades will be calculated using E-schools the computer program for the parent portal. They will be calculated as follows:

Paper Heading:
Make sure to put your name on the top of every paper that you hand in along with the date, my name, the class period and what the assignment is. Please utilize the following example:
A+ Student September 1, 20__
Mrs. DeAngelis Per. 1
Homework #17
Absences:
It is beneficial for each student to be in class each day. If you are absent from school upon your return make a point to see me before class begins to find out the work that was missed. It is your responsibility. All missed tests must be made-up during a time that is convenient to the student and the teacher within one week of the absence. If a student does not make up a test in the allotted time it will be calculated as a “zero” in the students average.
Extra Help:
The days and times will be posted within the first two weeks of school.
Parental Concern:
The best and fastest way to contact me is by email at Ldeangelis@.
Your parent or guardian may also call the office to leave a message. I will return their call within 24 hours from receiving the message.
:
is a one-way text messaging and email system. All of your personal information remains completely confidential (as does mine) but I will be able to send reminders by text message or email. Please sign up for this wonderful service, as it will assist me in keeping you and your parents updated about tests, projects and just simple reminders. The signup information is attached.
:
is an Internet site that allows the students to study for each chapter by playing games, using flash cards and taking practice tests. I suggest that each student use the website on a regular basis to help them with the topics we will be studying. When you go to the site you can search using my name: MSDEANGELIS and then the chapter we are working on.
