Homework Passes Each student will be given 3 Homework pastes each quarter. These passes can be used for a tardy pass, hall pass or to extend a due date for any assignment (this excludes tests/quizzes). So for example, if student forgot to do, bring or turn in their assignment, they can use one of their passes and then bring the assignment in the following day and still get full credit. Stucents will be rewarded if they have not used all three Homework Passes at the end of the quarter. give all my students a guarantee or a promise at the beginning of the year. This guarantee states that if students have a 90% attendance record, have no missing assignments, put forth good effort and display ‘good/positive behavior, throughout the year, then no matter what their grade is, | will pass them with a 70%, In other words, if « students grade is at a 50%, but has shown good class behavior, tried really hard, turned all of his/her assignments in and has established solid attendance, then his/her grade at the end of the year, will be bumped up to a 70%. That is my promise to my students and I call it STUDENT EXPECTATIONS AND CLASSROOM RULES. Students at Middleton Middle School and in my classroom are expected to be safe, respectful and responsible. Failure to comply with these expectations may result in disciplinary action.
