*Assignments that are missed due to absence are still graded and it is the responsibility of the student to find out what is due when they return to school.

 

SUPPLIES

*Each student is required to have all supplies for class.

*Pencils, colored pencils, glue sticks, scissors, textbooks (World Cultures & Geography), and the SS ISN  are required each day.

*Borrowing supplies from other students is not acceptable because it is distracting and not responsible.

*Quizzes, projects, other daily assignments, and test which have a circled numerical grade will be recorded in the grade book.  *Additional grades, such as class participation and oral reports may also be recorded.  Progress reports and report cards will reflect these additional grades. Homework and class participation will count as a grade and/or maybe graded as an assignment.

*All other work is considered practice work and will not be recorded for a grade.

 

CLASS DISCUSSION

*We respect all opinions. We respect ourselves and others.

*Students are encouraged to participate in discussions.  Often there are no right or wrong answers, just ideas, and opinions.  Each student is respected and will respect others.  It is important for each student to push himself or herself to be a part of the class discussion.  Students learn more when they are actively engaged and this is part of their class participation grade.

* No laughing, teasing, or insults will be allowed during discussions.
