Classroom Expectations Consequences Late Work Policy Redo Assignments Notebooks Tardies

. Classroom Expectations Students are expected to arrive on time and prepared for class. Being prepared includes having homework and all required materials for the class. In the classroom students are expected to be respectful and responsible at all times. Classroom expectations follow the 6 pillars of character counts: Be Respectful Be Responsible Be Fair Be Trustworthy Be A Good Citizen Be Caring Consequences In the event that students do not follow the classroom expectations, the following steps will be implemented. 1. Warning 2. Time out of the classroom 3. Detention 4. Parent Contact 5. Referral Late work policy Students can turn in missing assignments any time before we take the chapter test. However, the late work policy is as follows: 90% of the final quarter grade is based on homework, classwork, and tests, while the other 10% is an accountability grade. At the beginning of each quarter students will start with 100 accountability points, each time an assignment is turned in late 5 points will be deducted from their accountability grade. (1^st Quarter=5 points, 2^nd Quarter=10 points, 3^rd and 4^th Quarters=15 points). The assignment will be graded, and the earned score will be entered into the gradebook. Some large projects may be given (with a due date). Projects will not be accepted late unless previous arrangements have been made with the teacher. Redo Assignments Students can redo any assignment regardless of the grade received, but must be turned in before we take the chapter test. Work will be graded, and the higher of the two scores will be entered into the gradebook. Notebooks Each student is expected to keep separate math and science notebooks. These notebooks contain all notes taken, assignments, and hand-outs. The notebooks will be graded at the end of each quarter, and are worth 100 points toward the final quarter grade. Tardies Students are expected to be on time and prepared for class. If students are late or do not have the required materials for class they will be marked tardy. Four tardies will result in a teacher-assigned detention. Consistent tardiness will require a referral.
