Course Expectations
Students in my class are expected to develop independent critical thinking skills, writing skills, collaboration skills, and organizational skills that will be crucial in high school, college, and the outside world.
Students are expected to come to my class prepared and to complete assignments on time.
Missed work
It is the student’s responsibility to obtain any missed assignments, notes or other pertinent information necessary due to an absence or tardy. Students must have a verifiable excuse to receive full credit for missed assignments due to an excused absence.

The DISTRICT GRADING PLAN is applied to points earned by the end of a grading period is as follows: A =100-90; B=89-80; C=79-75 D=74-70; F=69 and below.
