Expectations
1. Students will have respect for themselves, each other, and staff members - listen carefully and follow instructions.
2. Cell phones may not be used in class unless the student has been granted permission. Cell phones will be confiscated if a student has one out without teacher permission as per our school policy. Please note that I will collect cell phones before tests/quizzes to ensure academic honesty and to prepare students for this procedure during the ACT and other state-mandated assessments; these phones will be stored in locked file cabinet. The phones will be locked until all tests/quizzes are completed. Students will be monitored by the teacher as they retrieve their phones in an organized, efficient manner. Students who refuse to submit a phone must sit in the front of each row so the teacher can more easily monitor for phone usage or may be sent to the main office to take the test.
3. Students must follow safety rules at all times.
4. All work to be completed and submitted on time to the best of each student’s ability. Late work will earn a reduced grade. If
you are absent you must contact me to arrange a catch up session and submission date for work. Students will agree to follow the school's academic honesty policy.
5. Students are responsible for keeping their notes in order. All is to be kept in a binder.
6. Be on time to class. Tardiness and absence will decrease your understanding and learning.
7. Students, parents and I will communicate regularly to discuss concerns and successes. The class web site will contain further information regarding assignments. Contact information is [email protected]
