Exam: A cumulative exam will be given each quarter calculating 20% of the grade for the course.

Discipline Policy: Disciplinary rules are outlined in the student handbook. Students will be verbally warned the first time that a rule is broken. The parent(s) will be called if the behavior persists. A referral will be written as a last resort or for any major infraction.

Tardy Policy: Students must be IN the classroom and in full uniform attire before the tardy bell rings. Any student not in by this time, will be assigned a referral as outlined in the student handbook. Only an administrator or I may excuse you from class, NO EXCEPTIONS!

Attendance Policy: More than 5 unexcused absences in a semester will be grounds for denial of credit. Attendance excuses MUST be handed in within one calendar month to count. NO EXCUSES will be accepted after that. (school-wide policy)

Classroom Expectations: Students are to follow ALL school rules as outlined in the student handbook in your agenda books. My rules include:

1. Students are to be in class before the tardy bell rings.

2. Students are to be prepared each day with the necessary materials. This includes completion of ALL homework assignments.

3. All assignments are to be turned in before the tardy bell.

4. Do not converse without permission.

5. Treat everyone with consideration and respect. Be very careful with your language, NO cruelty to others will be tolerated.

Tutoring: I expect all students to attend tutoring at some point during the semester. Tutoring is scheduled during ILT each day and all students must inform their teacher before attending.

If I ask any student to attend tutoring, and you choose not to attend, then your parent/guardian is notified by a phone call.
