 * __ Supplies Needed Daily __**

Students are responsible for bringing all materials to class. No passes will be given for you to leave the room to get forgotten materials, and you will not be allowed to share materials with other students unless we happen to be working in collaborative groups.

Grades will be determined on a points system. Each homework assignment, quiz, test, essay, project, etc., will be worth a specific number of points. At the end of each grading period, the total points earned by the student will be added up and divided by the total points possible to calculate the student's average. Students are encouraged to check Progress Book so they will be aware of their grade at any time during the semester.
 * __ Grades __**

Homework will be assigned but will vary depending on how much work is covered in class. Students are required to complete all homework assignments and tun them in on time. **There is no making up of assignments unless the student has been absent. No late assignments will be accepted.** This includes turning in assignments at the end of class that were collected at the beginning of class. Students who ware absent will have two day for each day absent to complete any missed assignments. When you are absent from class, homework assignments are due immediately upon your return to class. If you are absent the day before an assignment is due, the assignment is still due when you return to class. **Unexcused absences or tardies will result in zeroes on any tests, quizzes, or assignments.** All long-term assignments are due on a specific date whether you are present or not. It is your responsibility to get the assignment to me.
 * __ Homework/Assignments __**

Quizzes and tests over material covered will be given periodically. **If a student misses a quiz or test due to an excused absence, the student will have 1 week to make up the test.** Failure to do so in the time allotted will result in a 0 for that quiz or test.
 * __ Quizzes and Tests __**


 * __ Behavior/Cheating/Plagiarism __**
 * NO STUDENT WILL BE ALLOWED TO DISRUPT THE LEARNING OF OTHERS. **
 * Proper behavior is expected at ALL times.
 * No student will be allowed to belittle another student in my classroom.
 * No student will be permitted to use inappropriate language in class.
 * All students must be in their seats when the bell rings and remain seated until the bell rings at the end of class.
 * All students must show respect for self, others, teachers, guests, and facilities.
 * Refrain from eating/drinking in the classroom.
 * Do not write on desks, chairs, etc.
 * Throw all garbage in trashcan, and keep the room neat and clean.
 * Arrive to class on time. (See student handbook.)
 * Stay on task.
 * Contribute to a positive learning environment.

I expect each student to do his or her own work. Do not lend your homework or assignments to others. Any cheating or plagiarism is a serious breach of conduct and results in an automatic zero, a detention, and a phone call home.

 * Any student who severely disrupts the class will go immediately to the office. Examples of severe disruption include but are not limited to: fighting, using profanity/obscenity, or harassing others. **

I am happy to discuss your student's progress at any time. I can be reached at school at 232-2772 ext. 3957. However, due to the class schedule it is sometimes easier and more effective to reach me by email at katiecolonel@foresthills.edu.
