Student Responsibility

Students are responsible to make up any work/tests/quizzes/projects they miss when they are absent. They are responsible to arrange a time with me to make up tests/quizzes. Students are responsible to check for Make-Up Work in the hanging file on the wall. Students will have extra time to complete assignments when absent in correlations with the days missed.(ie: absent 1 day-may complete assignment 1 day past due date). All tests and quizzes must be completed within a week of original test/quiz date.

Students are responsible for checking Edmodo for assignments and tools to help with notes and class work.

Late work will be accepted no later than 5 days beyond the due date. 30 points will be deducted from the final grade.

A student will receive an opportunity to be re-evaluated when he/she receives a grade below 70% in the evaluation category (excluding evaluation grades received on projects/assignments that extend over a period of 5 days.) In order for re-evaluation to occur, the student will participate in the re-teaching process as determined by the teacher. The re-evaluation score will replace the original score with a maximum grade of 70%. The re-evaluation process must take place within 5 school days of receiving the initial grade below 70.

TUTORIALS

Tutorials are available for students needing assistance or needing to complete assignments. I will be offering tutorials from 3:40 – 4:10 Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons or by appointment. Do not expect to make up missing assignments during the class period.

Textbook Policy: There is a class set of textbooks. I give ample opportunity to students to complete assignments in class. Students should have the information they need for tests in their notes.
