Due Dates:Bellwork is due by Friday each week. Late work will only be accepted no later than one week and will receive partial credit. 

Graded assignments and quizzes/tests will be posted under the Weekly Agenda tab found on my website. If you are absent, you are responsible for checking the agenda and completing any missed work!

Test and Quiz: Due dates will vary, and I will let you know when these are assigned and due. Assessments will mostly be completed in Great Minds under your Classlink.

Procedures:

Bathroom Procedures:Students are allowed 13 bathroom passes per 9 weeks. If students use all 13 before the end of the 9 weeks, they are only allowed one bathroom pass via PBIS points.  Students will quietly raise their planner to ask to use the restroom.  I only allow 2 studentsto go during class to avoid constant interruptions during instruction time.

Classroom Expectations: 

1. Have materials ready and on your desk once you enter the classroom.  Begin the daily Bellwork and sit quietly until I am ready to begin class. 

2. Stay on task and always put 100% into your work.

3. Don’t be afraid to ask questions!

4. Always work as a team with your fellow students.  We’re all in this together!

Hallway Procedures:Wait for the prior class to leave my room before entering! Wait on the opposite wall of my classroom until I tell you to come in.

Homework Procedures: Homework must be turned in before class begins.  Any homework will not be accepted once class has started. It will become makeup work if it is turned in after I have collected other homework assignments.

Makeup Assignment Procedures: Students who turn in their homework or assignments late will lose points for each day they are late, unless they have an approved absence. I will have a specific location in the classroom for makeup work.
