Materials: I ask that the students have the following materials:

Binder or folder

Pencil and eraser

Class Work: Class work will be assigned on a daily basis. Time will be given in class to work on/complete
assignments. Assignments should be turned in accordingly. There is no specific due date for assignments, but
cut off dates will be given to keep students on top of their work. All assignments that are turned in by the
cutoff date will receive full credit if they are fully completed to the best of the students ability. Assignments
not turned in by the cutoff date will receive a zero. Assignments will be worksheets or out of the textbook.
Assignments will be announced in class and recorded on the Been Out? bulletin board. Assignments are graded
on completion to the best of the students ability. ALL problems must be attempted and ALL work must be
shown to receive full credit. If an assignment will be graded for correctness the student will be notified of this
change.

Tests/Quizzes: The number of quizzes and tests will vary for each chapter. If you are absent the day of a
quiz or test, it is YOUR responsibility to make up the assessment. The assessment can be made up before
school, during lunch, or after school. A written and multiple choice district end of course exams will be given
at the end of the semester.
Grades: The following grading scale will be used:
A 90 - 100%
B 80 - 89%
C 70 - 79%
D 60 - 69%
F 59% and lower
The following weighted percentages will be used to determine the class grade:
Major assessments (Chapter tests, projects) 40%
Quizzes 35%
Daily Practices (homework, in class assignments) 25%
IDs: IDs must be worn in class at all times. They are a quick handy straight edge when you need them!
Restroom pass: Restroom passes will be written during non - instructional time. Lessons will not be stopped
for restroom breaks. I recommend going in between classes.
