ACADEMICS:
- Report to class prepared. Always bring your chromebook, notebook, pencils, and any assignment that is due. If you fail to come to class prepared, you may lose points from your Classwork/Homework grade. If you have a textbook, the textbook must be covered at all times.
- If you missed an assessment due to an excused absence, you must see me as soon as you return to school to complete this assignment . If you do not see me the day you return to school, I will assume you are not interested in completing this assignment and you will receive a 0 as you grade for that missed assignment.
- Cutting classes is a severe violation of our rules and a disrespect to your teacher. I will deduct 10 points (times the number of cuts) from your grade in the exam that follows your cut(s).
- Your final grade for each marking period is a combination of:
- Quizzes / Tests: Test grades are multiplied by 4, therefore it is important that you study every day.
- Do Now/Pop Quizzes. These grades are multiplied by 2- Do Now assessments, pop quizzes, and other assignments are included in this category.
- Homework / Online Quizzes- These grades are multiplied by 1.
- Classwork / Class Participation: Class participation grade includes being ready for class (chromebook, notebooks, classwork assignments, not losing hand-outs, etc).
- There are 4 Marking Periods in one year. Your numerical grade for each marking period is multiplied by 0.22 (22%), You also take a Final Exam at the end of the school year. Your numerical grade for this exam is multiplied by 0.12 (12%). All these scores are added to calculate your final grade in the class. You need a final score of 65 or more to pass the class and you must take the final exam to receive credits for the course.
