Team Wide Rules and Expectations
Respect Others and Their Right to Learn
Respect Your Surroundings
You may have a healthy, individual snack in any core teacher's class. You may not share snacks. Chips and Candy are not healthy choices.
DUE to allergies of students and staff please wipe up with Clorox wipe after you are finished if your snack had any type of NUT or ORANGE product.
Also, please make sure all trash gets placed into the trash can.
School Wide Grading Expectations
An Asterisk * in the grade book denotes that the assignment has not been graded. This does not mean it is missing.
A bold Asterisk * means the assignment is not counted/taken as a grade for your student.
We have a 50% basement. If the grade is missing it will have a score equal to 50% of the total and will be stated as missing.
LATE WORK - Is all due at the end of a unit or grading period - whichever comes first.
Each class should have a minimum of 4 homework assignments (20%) and 7 assessment/project (80%) grades in the grading period.
We are on 9 weeks grading periods instead of 6 weeks grading periods.
