Class Rules/Expectations:
1. All students will be seated with necessary materials BEFORE the tardy bell rings.

6. Participate daily.

Grading Policy:
Minor Grades (classwork, quizzes, labs, journals, etc.) = 50% - minimum of 1 per week
Major Grades (tests, projects, etc.) = 40% - minimum of 2 per six (6) weeks
Other (homework, participation, etc.) = 10% - 1 per week
Semester Exam = 15% of semester grade
***All grades will be posted per Student ID Number***
Quizzes will be given in each chapter. If you make a grade less than 70, you can correct the quiz to try and bring the grade up to a 70. All corrections will be on a separate sheet of paper. Each question missed will need to be written 2 times along with the correct answer.
Tests will be given at the end of each chapter. If you make a grade less than 70, you can correct the test to try and bring the grade up to a 70. All corrections will be on a separate sheet of paper. Each question missed will need to be written 1 time along with the correct answer.
Notebooks are needed to keep notes, assignments, and quizzes. Notebooks will not be taken for a grade but will help with organizing papers when studying for quizzes and tests. (Hint: I highly recommend a notebook!)
Composition books will be used for taking notes and keeping important information for quizzes and tests. Each student is required to have a composition book!
Homework Policy: All homework is due the day after it is assigned unless otherwise stated.
Late Work Policy: 1st offense = maximum grade of 75; 2+ offenses = maximum grade of 70. Failure to turn in work the next class day will result in a grade of zero (0).
Missed Work Due to Absences: It is your responsibility to pick up any work missed (look in purple folders in the back of the room). You will have 3 days to turn in assignments.
Six Weeks Topics:
1st 6 Weeks: Parenting and Paternity Awareness (P.A.P.A. curriculum), Tobacco
2nd 6 Weeks: Alcohol, Weight Management
3rd 6 Weeks: Illegal drugs, CPR/AED certification
I understand and agree to the provided classroom management plan. I also know that I can contact Coach Mikulin with any questions and concerns I might have throughout this year.
Please sign and return this page of the syllabus. This will count as a homework grade and students will receive a 100 if it is returned the next class day. 10 points will be deducted each day for 1 week and after the 5th day, a zero will be given.
Thank You,
Amy Mikulin
