Classroom Policies: Classroom Rules / Expectations: The classroom rules are established on the first day of class. All rules and procedures are established on a foundation of respect and responsibility. The expectations of each student are to be on time, be prepared (supplies, homework, attitude, etc.), and to participate in all class projects and discussions. While the following provides a brief explanation of my expectations, a complete list of rules and procedures can be found on the Classroom Rules and Procedures portion of the syllabus. Attendance / Absences / Tardiness: You
know where you have to be and when you have to be there. Be in your seat when the bell rings, unless
accompanied by a pass from a teacher, the nurse, or office personnel. These are considered excused tardies and will not be penalized as long as you turn-in
your pass! If you are late without a
pass, this is considered unexcused. If you are more than 15 minutes late,
unexcused, you will be marked absent.
The first three unexcused tardies will
result in one hour of detention.
However, each tardy after that will also result in an hour worth of
detention. Make-up Work / Late Work: Whether homework or in class, all
assignments must be completed and turned-in at the beginning of class on the
designated due date. All work should
be placed in the “in-basket” corresponding to the class period. Late work may be handed in for half-credit
up to the last day of the corresponding chapter. Three late assignments in a row will result
in a phone call/email home. In the
event of an emergency or single-day absence, all work is due the day
following the day you return (e.g. you’re absent on Monday, you return on
Tuesday, your work is due on Wednesday).
In the event of multiple absences, you are responsible for seeing me
to get your assignment and discuss a reasonable due date. **IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE NEW ATTENDANCE POLICY, IF YOU ARE ABSENT 6 OR MORE TIMES,
YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE CREDIT FOR THE QUARTER** Plagiarism Policy: Plagiarism WILL NOT be
tolerated in my class!!! If caught
plagiarizing, students will receive a non-negotiable
“no credit” (o) for the assignment.
While the student handbook provides a definition and outline of
plagiarism, my specific policy can be found here. |
