Students are considered on time when they are in their seats and ready to work when
the bell rings. Students who arrive to class late are considered tardy and will be issued
a one hour detention that must be served within the next two days.
Grading Policy:
Grading guidelines were developed so that students will have a clear understanding of
teacher expectations. Please be sure to review them with your student. While a lot of
reading will be done in class, students will be expected to do some independent
reading for homework. Students should expect regularly assigned homework. Please
support your child by asking him or her to share information about what we are
learning at school.
Grades will be weighted as follows:
35 % - Tests/Quizzes/Pop Quizzes
25% - Classwork (Journal Writing, Grammar, Vocabulary)
40% - Homework (Assignments, Essays)
Daily participation is a large component of being successful in this class. Students are
expected to participate in group discussions every class period.
Make-up Work:
It is the students responsibility to get make-up work from the teacher following an
absence. All work can be found on the class website. Students must turn in make-up
work the next class period after it is assigned unless it is an extended assignment or
project.
Late Work:
Homework must be turned in within the first 5 minutes of class. After that, it will be
considered late. Students may use an extra class period to turn in work, otherwise
points will be lost. Students have a week after the due date to turn in late work.
Electronics Policy:
Please refer to the Casa Grande Student Handbook. All cell phones and any
unauthorized electronic devices must be turned off and out of sight during class time.
Student iPads are to only be used for classwork when the teacher designates that it is
time to use them. Devices may be confiscated and returned to students at the end of
the day if they do not follow the classroom policy.
Food and Drinks:
Drinks are allowed in class, however food is not. Students may eat before and after
class. As long as students are respectful of the classroom, these rules will remain in
class.
