Class Policies:
Grading:
Tests& Projects: 40% Quizzes: 20%
Homework/Classwork: 25% Journal: 15%
Homework Policy:
Homework will be assigned as a continued practice of classroom activities. I expect that homework assigned will be completed the next day unless otherwise specified. I will not tolerate late, incomplete, or missing homework. I review homework thoroughly in order to assess student understanding of class material. In case of illness, work must be made up within five days of the student’s return to school.
Behavior Management:
My Behavior Management Policies/Rules follow those prescribed in the Student Handbook. I will provide and track verbal warnings before applying consequences. Although good behavior is expected, I also periodically offer class and individual
motivation as a reward.
