Grading Policy:
Grading is based on the district grading policy. The student will also have ample opportunity to earn extra credit. There will be a semester exam before the winter break and a final exam at the end of the year.
60% Quizzes/Daily assignments/Homework
40% Tests/Major projects
10% Final Exams
*If you are absent on the day of a test, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to make up the test within one week from the ORIGINAL test date.
Notebooks:
The student can expect to take notes during class. Notes will consist of classroom lecture, presentations, and handouts. Tests will consist of material presented in the class and homework assignments. All assignments/notes shall be placed in a notebook/ binder. DO NOT THROW ANYTHING AWAY. They will find the information useful in future classes, whether at the high school or collegiate levels. Notebooks will be graded and should be neat and well-organized.
Homework:
Homework is a vital part of the educational experience because class time is so limited; however, I understand that students have increasing burdens in today’s society. Therefore, homework will be given on a limited basis and will primarily consist of reading and note taking over an assigned reading. This homework policy is subject to change.
Late Assignments:
Students are expected to turn in all work on time. If there is an emergency or personal situation, the student should contact me prior to the 8:35am bell of the assigned due date. There will be a 10 point penalty if the assignment is late and will not be accepted after 10 school days.
Retest Policy:
Students may make corrections to improve test grades. This must be done during tutoring hours and must be completed within one week of the test date. Corrected answers are worth half points. Students will be allowed to retake a test but cannot make higher than a 75.
Tardies:
Tardies will be given and disciplined according to JISD policy.
It is the students’ responsibility to take care of their needs during the passing periods. This includes going to the bathroom, fixing makeup, getting necessary materials and homework, and visiting with friends . . . before the bell rings! Students are expected to be seated in the classroom with their materials ready when the bell rings.
Tutoring:
Students may receive additional assistance before or after school. Students are expected to arrive on time and sign in. I have set aside the following times for tutoring:
Tuesday and Thursday – 4:30 pm-5:45 pm
Academic Honesty:
It is expected that students will use genuine, sincere, and fair means for the accomplishment of tests, tasks, or projects from which evaluations of progress shall be determined. Students found plagiarizing, copying, or cheating in any way will receive and automatic zero and phone calls will be made to their parents. In addition, students will be given a Disciplinary Referral.
Class Rules:
I will lead a respectful and disciplined classroom. To achieve this, I have established a few simple policies. As a student, it is your responsibility to comply with these policies. If you choose to break a rule, there will be consequences.
• Students will be respectful at all times. Hateful comments concerning race, gender, sexuality, appearance, etc. will not be tolerated. Students will keep their hands to themselves at all time.
• Students should be seated and prepared to work when the bell rings.
• In accordance with school policy, cell phones, music players, and other electronic devices are not permitted. If seen or heard, items will be confiscated and given back at the end of the period.
• Students should not talk during lectures unless called on. If a student has a question, he/she should raise his/her hand. Talking quietly during group activities is acceptable.
• No food or drink is allowed in the classroom. Closable containers of water are permitted.
If you CHOOSE to break a Rule:
There are consequences for a student’s actions. While there are behaviors that will warrant an immediate Disciplinary Referral, such as gross insubordination or violent behavior, I would prefer to deal with students personally on a one-on-one basis. This will be followed by a parent contact. If further action needs to be taken, I will write an administrative referral.
