Homework will be assigned as needed. __ GRADING POLICY __ Grades will be taken for classroom assignments, special projects, tests, etc. The daily average will be determined by dividing the points earned by the total points possible. In determining the grade for each nine weeks, the daily average will comprise 80% of the final grade. The nine-week exam will count 20% of the overall grade (as outlined by Talladega County Board of Education policy). __ GRADING SCALE __ A 90-100 D 60-69 B 80-89 F 0-59 C 70-79 __ STUDENT WORK STANDARDS __ Student work should be neat, complete, and headed correctly (name, date, period, and title of assignment). High standards in handwriting, language mechanics, and usage are expected. No assignments will be accepted late (unless a student has an excused absence). IT IS THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO ASK FOR AND COMPLETE MAKE-UP WORK WITHIN THE SCHOOL/SCHOOL SYSTEM GUIDELINES. (You will have five (5) days to complete assignments and make-up tests after an excused absence; however, if you are absent on the day an assignment is due, the assignment is due the day you return—not five days later.) __ CLASSROOM RULES __ · Listen the first time. · Come to class prepared (textbook, 3-ring folder, paper, highlighter, pencils or pens). · Respect others and their property. NO ONE SHOULD EVER TAKE ANYTHING FROM MY DESK/PODIUM AREAS WITHOUT PERMISSION (pens, pencils, books, tape, etc.) or from the desk areas of fellow students. THIS WILL BE CONSIDERED STEALING AND WILL RESULT IN AN OFFICE REFERRAL. · Talk or leave seat ONLY WITH PERMISSION. · Follow school rules and classroom directions. __ CONSEQUENCES __ Minor Offenses (talking, leaving seat without permission, etc.) · Warning and/or conference with the student · Note, phone call, or conference with parent · Office referral Major Offenses (fighting, being disrespectful, etc.) · Immediate office referral __ OTHER INFORMATION __ This is my twenty-sixth year in the classroom, and I enjoy what I do. I know we can work together to make this course a valuable learning experience. **If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to send me a note or call the school (315-5220) for an appointment.** Let’s have a great year!
