Grade 9 - Health

Class Expectations & Grading

  1. Students will enter the classroom quietly and orderly and sit in their assigned seats until the bell rings at the end of the class period. No one is allowed to get up and move around the classroom without permission.
  1. Students will be required to keep a notebook for this class that will be handed in for a grade. This notebook should have Health notes only in it. Class handouts will be included in the notebook grade. SAVE ALL WORK!
  1. Students will be prepared for class by bringing their notebooks and something to write with to every class. Being unprepared for class will deduct points from your class preparation grade. Students should use only blue or black ink or pencil for class, any other color makes reading difficult. Any work handed in written in any other color may not be graded.
  1. If a student knows ahead of time that he/she will be absent from class, he/she will notify the teacher so appropriate work may be given to insure that the student does not fall behind. All work missed must be turned in on the day that the student returns to school.
  1. Students will receive a shop time assignment for every shop cycle. This assignment is due the first day back from shop. Any student who is absent on the last day of the academic cycle must see me the very next school day for the assignment so it can be completed during the shop cycle.
  1. Any student who is absent from class will make up their work according to the student handbook.
  1. Any student late to class will be marked tardy (except for 1st period – a late slip must be obtained from Student Services). Being late for class without a note is unacceptable.
  1. Students will not be allowed to leave class without their own Student Handbook.
  1. All rules and regulations contained in the Student Handbook also apply to this class.
