CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS

I EXPECT YOU TO

v Come to class with the necessary supplies (books, paper, writing utensils, homework, etc. Take care of your books—they belong to the school, not to you!)

v Do your own work!

v Be on time and ready to begin.

v Keep your hands and feet and other objects to yourself.

v Respect each other!  (Leave teasing, swearing, put downs, etc. outside the boundary of the classroom, the school day, and the school-related activity.)

v Follow teacher instructions.

v Smile—School is not all that bad!

Grading policy And procedures

Grades are figured on a total point basis within each category.  The categories are then weighted to determine the final grade.

Each nine-weeks, a student is required to complete one book report. 

Each book report is considered a 100-point test grade for that nine weeks. 

It is my experience that this grading method is to the student’s advantage, especially at the beginning of a grading period. 

As the period progresses, the difference between the two methods generally gets smaller and smaller.

#Note: 

Copied work receives zero credit—this applies to both the person doing the copying

and the person from whom the work is copied.
