Late Work
Late assignments assigned when you were present in class will be accepted up to 4 days after the due date with a 25% deduction for each day. After 4 days, a grade of zero will be recorded in the grade book. If you can get the assignment to me before the start of school the next day, it will not be counted as late and no deduction will be made. You may also email me the assignment at bcsantm@carrollk12.org. If you were absent, you have the number of days absent to turn in your missed work. When you do not have an assignment, please fill out the form in replace of the assignment.

Classroom Rules
1. Be Prompt: Come to class on time. Tardiness to class will result in the following consequences: 1st tardy: parent contact and warning 2nd tardy: parent contact and warning 3rd tardy: parent contact and Detention after that: detention and referral to administration. 2. Be Prepared: Make sure you have something to write with every day. I will tell you the day before a lab so you can bring your close-toed shoes. 3. Be Polite: Some advice: Kill the with your kindness. If everyone is polite to each other (including me), then there is no reason for any kind of disruption or altercations. If someone is rude to you, do not be rude back. Kill them with your kindness. Then come and talk to me and I will take care of it. This also prevents your from getting in trouble. 4. Be Productive: Complete all required assignments on time. If there is any time left at the end of class, read independently. work on an assignment for another class, write, draw, do not disturb others.
