GRADING/HOMEWORK POLICY
Grades are calculated on a total point basis with the following points usually assigned:
Tests/Assessments, Projects, Essays, Presentations- 100-300 points
Quizzes, Rough drafts- 50-100 points
class work, homework, pop quizzes, etc.- 50 points or less
**Some point totals may vary due to length of time spent on an assignment**
Late policy
NO LATE WORK IS ACCEPTED IN THIS CLASS! All longer assignments are provided well in advance; please make sure that you check due dates on the board ALWAYS!!!
Also, any assignment that contains plagiarism or completed with collusion will be given a zero.
ATTENDANCE/MAKE-UP WORK
Attendance is important in any class, especially mine. I understand sometimes you may be ill, but excessive absences can cause problems and will make your grade suffer. We use every minute of every class day to avoid too much homework; therefore, your attendance is vital to staying on top of assignments. I can always be reached via email so that I may email you assignments.
In case you have an excused absence, you will follow the Shelby County Schools policy: I day for each day absent (3 days absent- 3 days to make up work). IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO GET YOUR ASSIGNMENTS WHEN YOU ARE ABSENT. ANY ASSIGNMENT DUE ON DATE OF ABSENCE MUST BE PRESENTED UPON RETURN. ALL STUDENTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO SIGN A MAKE-UP WORK POLICY AGREEMENT TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM!
Missed tests must be taken within 5 days of the last absence. THEY WILL NOT BE TAKEN DURING CLASS!!! STUDENTS CAN MAKE IT UP DURING A STUDY HALL, ADVISORY PERIOD, OR AFTER SCHOOL. NO PREVIOUS ABSENCE AUTOMATICALLY EXEMPTS A STUDENT FROM COMPLETING A TEST OR LONG TERM ASSIGNMENT (PROJECT/ESSAY)!!! AT LEAST 1-WEEK NOTICE IS GIVEN ON ALL LONG TERM ASSIGNMENTS; THEREFORE, ONE ABSENCE SHOULD NOT HINDER THE STUDENT FROM BEING PREPARED!
GRADE UPDATES
Progress reports will be sent out to every student at the midterm of each nine-week period. This report will let you know where you stand and what you need to do to improve your grade. Powerschool is also updated regularly. If you have a question regarding your child, you can send me an email; I should respond back quickly.
Notebook/ Agenda book
Every student will receive an agenda book this year. In order to teach students responsibility, students will have to keep these with them at all times (it also serves as a hall pass if a student ever needs to leave class). This book should be used to mark due dates and homework.
In addition to this agenda book, students will need
- BINDER/ACCORDION FOLDER WITH NOTEBOOK PAPER
- 2 COMPOSITION NOTEBOOKS/SPIRAL NOTEBOOKS
- 10 pack MARKERS/HIGLIGHTERS/COLORED PENCILS (will be used ALL the time!)
- RED PEN/BLUE OR BLACK PEN
* WHILE NOT REQUIRED, I WOULD APPRECIATE A BOX OF TISSUE AND/OR A REAM OF PRINTER PAPER
