Make-up Assignment Procedure:       

If you are absent. YOU are responsible for obtaining the notes given that day from another student. This is important because we will be having a notebook quiz each chapter and the questions will come straight out of your notes and examples.        

Assignments can ALWAYS be found on the calendar on the bulletin board. Any worksheets or supplements to the notes can be found in the crate of folders.        

If you are having difficulty with the material cover during your absence, it is YOUR responsibility to come in before or after school to catch up.        

If you score below an 80% on any test you will have the opportunity to retake the test in the library within a week to possibly raise your test grade to an 80%. 

Tardies: Each quarter you will be given a three tardy "grace period." Your fourth tardy will result in a detention.

Classroom Procedures:       

When the bell rings you will be in your seat, with your homework out.        

When you finish a test/quiz you have two options 1) Work on something for another class, 2) Sit quietly and do not disturb your fellow classmates.

Work on your assignment until I tell you to pack up for the day. Remember the bell does not dismiss you from class, I dismiss you from class.
