You need to memorize your login information in order to be able to get on. As this is the first year for trying online resources there will be a little trial and error, please be patient. Online quizzes maybe timed and you will have up to 2 times (depending on quiz) to do the quiz, and a time frame (usually two days). If you do not have access to a computer/smart phone at home, the library will be open during lunch, after school, and before school for you to work on academics. Late Work 10 percent will be deducted per day. NO late work will be accepted after 5 days that the assignment is due. Homework will be due at the beginning of class; after I collect homework, it will be considered late. ALL late work must have your name, hour, and assignment on it or it will not be graded. Late work will be marked accordingly (stamped once and how many days it is late) and placed in the tray. Make-up Work Students will be allowed to make up all work missed due to an excused absence. The student will receive a minimum of 2 days for each day missed in order to get all missed work completed. The student will not receive any type of grade deduction. If the student’s absence is unexcused or results from a disciplinary suspension, the student will be given a minimum of two days to make up all work with a maximum grade of 70%. It is the responsibility of the student, regardless of the reason, excused or unexcused, to obtain all assignments missed. It is required of the student to get assignments and due dates before the absence occurs in order to stay on schedule with the class.Missing (“M”) WorkIf you have more than 3 “M” (Missing work) in the gradebook then you may get intervention after school or during lunch until you get those grades turned in. After 5 days you will receive a grade of no more than 25%. If you are failing because of missing work you will receive intervention until all grades are made up. Cell Phones Use Policy Cell phones are to be used for educational purposes only in the classroom. Unless otherwise specified by the teacher, cell phones are to be put in the designated spot in the shoe rack as the students come into class.
