Grading Policy:
- ASSESSMENTS -- 45%
- CLASSWORK -- 55%
Materials Needed:
- You are expected to bring each of these items to class everyday:
- Pencil/Black or Blue Pen
- Composition Notebook
- Fully Charged Computer (once the school has given you one)
- Face Mask (as needed)
Discipline/Consequences:
- You are expected to follow the student code of conduct in your handbook.
Below are the steps I will follow with each infraction:
- 1. Verbal Warning
- 2. Second Warning or ISD
- 3. Parent Phone Call
- 4. Office Referral (with recommendation of ISS or OSS with parent conference)
- Fighting, vandalism, open defiance, profanity or disruption will result in an immediate office referral with suspension recommended.
Late Work:
- If an assignment is turned in after its due date, the assignments grade will be deducted 10% each day it is late.
- Example: if an assignment is turned 1 day late and it was given a 90, I will take off 10% of 90 (minus 9 points) and your final grade will be an 81. If you turn it in 2 months late, I will only take off 40% (minus 36) and your final grade will be a 54.
Re-Do Assignments:
- If you are unsatisfied with a grade you received on an assignment, you can schedule a conference with me and you will have 1 week after said conference to complete the assignment. I will then average the two grades and that will be your final grade. Once a grading period has passed (nine weeks), you will no longer be able to re-do an assignment as I will not be able to change your grade.
- Example: if, on your first try, you make a 60 on an assignment and, on your second try, you make an 80, your final grade will be a 70.
Make-up Work:
- It is your responsibility to obtain and complete make-up if you are absent. You will have the same amount of days you were absent to complete make-up work.
- Example: if you are absent for 2 days, you will have 2 days to complete any make-up work.
