MATERIALS

Students are expected to come to class with a writing utensil and all their materials
every day.

CLASSROOM RULES
1. Cooperate with and respect your
teacher and classmates.
2. Respect the rights and property of
others.
3. Carry out your basic student
responsibilities.
4. Follow the rules as outlined in the
student handbook.

BASIC STUDENT
RESPONSBILITIES
1. Come to class prepared and ready to
learn.
2. Start your work on time and allow time to
finish.
3. Ask for help when you need it.
4. Do your own work.
5. Turn your work in on time.
6. Accept responsibility for grades and other
consequences.

ACADEMIC HONESTY
If a student plagiarizes or cheats on an assignment their grade for that assignment will
be a zero. Parents will be notified, and any additional consequences as outlined in the
student handbook will be followed.

ABSENCES AND LATE WORK

It is the students responsibility to make up ALL missed assignments. When returning

from absences it is the students responsibility to see the teacher to receive the work
that was missed. In the event of an excused absence the student has double the time
of the absence to make up the work (ex: student misses two school days, they then
have four school days to complete the missed work). In the event of an unexcused
absence student will receive a zero for all work missed. Late
projects/essays/presentations will be docked 10% of the total value for each day they
are late.

EXTRA HELP
If a student needs extra help I am available most days before and after school. If a
student has concerns they can set-up an appointment for extra help. It is best for a
student to come forward for extra help as soon as they realize extra help is needed.
Ultimately the decision to learn is up to the student and it is expected that students will
seek extra help as needed or alert me to their concerns.
