Maple Valley Junior High School8th Grade ND StudiesCourse Number: 15006Course Textbook: North Dakota LegendaryCourse Overview: North Dakota Studies examines the history, politics, economics, society, and/or cultures of the state in the United States. This course may focus primarily on the history of the state or may take an interdisciplinary approach to the contemporary issues affecting it. Attendance: Attendance is very important in this class. If you miss class, it is very difficult to catch up. There is a 10-absence limit per semester. On the 11th absence, a student is at risk for losing credit for this class. Please try not to schedule appointments during this class period.This year in addition to the standards of tests, quizzes and classroom projects, I will be grading student performance based on attendance in class. I feel if a student is not present to participate in the daily content, they are not learning. So, to that end, every student will receive 5 daily points for being in class on time. If the student is tardy, they will only receive 2.5 points. If a student is more than 15 minutes late to my class, they will be counted as absent.If a student is absent for a non-school event reason, they will not receive points for the day of absence. Attendance will be weighed as 20% of a student’s overall grade for each quarter.Evaluation Process: The following will be used to determine your grade:Daily Work: 20%Quizzes: 30%Tests: 50 %Homework is due when the second bell rings. Please keep in mind that I do NOT take late work. Work is accepted at the end of the day that it is due but there is a 10% deduction. Work handed in the next day is a Zero.Behavior: You are in Junior High and should know how to behave. If you don’t, I talk to you once, the second time I need to visit with you, you will be asked to leave the room.Other: I am typically available before and after school. My prep period this year is 4th hour. I am also available 7th hour.If you don’t understand something, please ask. ................
