Tests. If, at any time, you feel there is something you do not understand, please come see
me for clarity.

Remind 101:

This is my primary way of communication in the class. Please share with your
parents!

Absences/Missed Work:

It is the students responsibility to make up missed assignments/tests within the

time frame allotted in the Student Handbook (one class period for each day missed).
Students will receive an M, a zero, for assignment that is missed. If the assignment
is turned in within the allotted time frame (one class period for each day missed),
then the M, or zero, will be replaced. The same policy goes for making-up tests.
Students not completing missed daily work or missed exams will be given a grade of
zero. All make-up work can be found in the folder located on the cabinet door.
*You can access the notes/assignments for the day by going to:

Expectations:

Students are expected to follow ALL DISTRICT AND CAMPUS RULES. In addition, the
following class expectations should be followed:
1. Keep your hands, feet and objects to yourself.
2. Follow directions the first time they are given.
3. Show respect toward teachers, peers, and all objects in the room.

Consequences for Disruptive Behavior:

*MAJOR DISCIPLINE ISSUES WILL RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE OFFICE REFERRAL.*

Textbook:

A classroom textbook will be provided for use at school.

You can use Canvas to access the online textbook at home.

Calculators:

I will assign each student a specific calculator for classroom use. It is the students
responsibility to inform me of any damage to the calculator at the start of each
period. If a calculator is found to be damaged, the student assigned that calculator
from the previous class period will be held responsible for replacing the technology.
If at any time a calculator goes missing, all calculators will be locked up until the
missing calculator is returned!

Cell Phones/BYOT Policy:

All phones and other technology must be placed in your assigned calculator slot in
the cabinet unless otherwise instructed by me. Phones will be returned AT THE END

OF CLASS when calculators are turned in. Any phone out during class WILL be taken
up and sent to your AP!!!
