*** I check emails daily. If you have any questions or concerns I will reply within 24      hours of your request.

 

 

Requirements:

  • Student MUST come prepared to class each day, which means he/she must bring textbook, workbook, binder and pencil daily.
    • Your notebook should be a loose-leaf, three ring binder. (I give out printed notes and collect homework daily so this is highly recommended!)
  • Homework must be completed as assigned (see below for grading - no extra credit!!!).
  • Work must be shown to support the answers on all assignments.
  • If your homework grade is below a 70 you will not be offered any extra credit assignments.
  • Absentee Policy
    • If you are absent it is YOUR responsibility to get the notes you missed and have 2 school days to make up the homework.
    • I will not ask you for the homework, if you do not show it to me I will mark it as incomplete.
  • Textbooks must be covered.

 

Attendance Policies:            It is so important that you come to class on time and ready to learn EVERYDAY.  Please do not be late to class.

  • If you are late/absent for class the consequences are:
    • 3 Lates = 1 CUT
    • Late ≧ 10 minutes = 1 CUT
    • 3 CUTS = WN (withdrawn no credit)
    • 10 absences = No Credit
  • CUTTING CLASS = UNEXCUSED ABSENCE!!!  I will NOT allow any make up work for any student who cuts my class.  

 

Class Rules:

  • Be respectful, polite to others and yourself. Attentive silence when other students or instructor are talking.
  • Come to class prepared, on time, with all of your materials and a positive attitude.
  • NO CELL PHONES IN CLASS. Ever.
  • Students are expected to actively and positively participate in all classroom activities.
  • No personal grooming, eating, or drinking in class.
  • Understand the Bayonne High School Discipline Report.

 

 

Consequences when rules are broken:

If a student chooses to break a rule, appropriate action will be taken. Depending on the frequency/severity of the infraction this could include a verbal reprimand, call or email to a parent, and/or a referral to a counselor or Vice Principal.

 

Grading Policy:

  • Tests - 70%.

3 – 5 Tests will be given each marking period. Tests will usually be given at the end of every chapter.

  • Quizzes – 15%
    • There will be take-home and in class quizzes as deemed necessary.
    • Projects. There will be at least 1 project each marking period.
    • Notebooks. You are REQUIRED to bring your notebook daily, and I will randomly check your notebook during the marking period for a quiz grade.
    • Homework – 15%

All homework assignments are counted individually, which means any missing homework it will show you are missing points towards your homework grade. I input homework grade at the end of every month.

  • All work should be done neatly and completely or points will be taken of for incomplete assignments.

 

***Students are ALWAYS aware of their grade in this course. Parents/Guardians can contact me anytime regarding their student’s grade.  Any questions or concerns regarding grades or student progress should be addressed as soon as the problem is known.
