Course Materials:
3-RING NOTEBOOK
5 DIVIDERS WITH TABS
NOTEBOOK PAPER
BLUE OR BLACK PEN
HIGHLIGHTER (OPTIONAL)
The notebook will be useful as a reference manual and a portfolio of documents (models). Notebooks are periodically graded for organization and content. There are tests over materials found in the notebook throughout the course. At times, students are permitted to use the notebook for assistance when tested. Notebooksare invaluable in daily activities.
Make-Up Work:
The responsibility for make-up work lies with the student. The use of tutorial time is an excellent opportunity for making up work. Students shall be granted one day for each day of absence to make up work that was missed. A student who does not make up assigned work within the time allotted by the teacher may receive a grade of zero for the assignment.
Retest/Redo:
Any student who makes less than a 70 on a major assignment (test or project) has the opportunity to retest or redo the assignment. Retest/Redo must be completed within 1 week of the original date. Student must attend a tutorial session with the teacher before a retest is taken. The retest/redo will be graded for full credit and averaged with the original grade. The maximum grade recorded will be limited to a 70. The new test or assignment may be different from the original. Retests can be scheduled before or after school by the teacher/department. Failure to complete a major grade assignment (i.e. Research Paper) is not subject to a Redo. The due date for a major grade assignment will stand and late grade penalties will be applied. Only the final product may be redone on a major grade assignment. Final Exams are not subject to a Retest.
Tardies:
Most tardies are avoidable. A student is considered tardy to class if he or she is not in his or her assigned seat at the designated time. A student who arrives late to school should present a written statement from a parent or guardian to the attendance clerk. Students will receive warnings for their 1st and 2nd tardies. Parents will receive a call when students have received their 3rd tardy and informed their child will receive a detention for a 4th tardy. A morning detention with the teacher will be given on the 4th tardy and a referral to the office will be given on the 5th tardy.
Dress Code:
Students are expected to adhere to the campus dress and grooming standards. Failure to comply with these standards will result in a referral to the office.
