Classroom Rules:
1.Be in your assigned seat with all of your materials when the bell rings.

Absent/Makeup Work: Plan ahead! If you give me reasonable notice, I can give you your assignments ahead of time. Otherwise make up work will be given and accepted per district policy. It is your responsibility to find out what you missed (ask a classmate, see me outside of class time, check the makeup binder and classroom calendar) and turn it in. Makeup work, tests, quizzes, FCAs are not to be worked on during instructional time.
When you want to know what your grade is or get a grade printout: See me during non-instructional time. I will not stop instruction to have a personal conference with you.
Don’t like your grade or think it’s inaccurate?: If a mistake is made, please allow me to fix it! Turn in your grade printout and staple the misreported assignment to it. I will fix it ASAP and get it back to you. On the other hand, if your grade is an accurate reflection of your effort and participation (or lack of) come see me outside of instructional time and we will discuss your grade and develop a plan of action.
Extra Credit: Extra credit is for students who are completing and turning in all of their assignments and are working diligently in class. Extra credit will not be given to students who are not completing and turning in assignments and are mentally “checked-out” during class.
Passes: Students are given passes to use to leave for water/restroom/etc. Passes that are not used are valuable and can be used to earn an instant 100 on homework/classwork, erase tardies or cell phone ‘One & Dones’. It is in your best interest to go between class and save them.
