Rules |
1. Respect adults and all peers and treat everyone as you would want to be treated.
2. Bring all materials to class on time. No one will return to a locker or to another class to retrieve materials.
3. Turn in all projects and assignments on time. Tardiness results in the lowering of grades. No assignment that is late will earn a score higher than 70. 0’s will result in the ZAP period. See handbook.
4. Be active in class. Don’t just sit there!!! Ask questions, suggest ideas, and be prepared for class discussions!!
5. After 1st period there will not be any drinks or food allowed in my room.
6. Cheating of any kind will result in a zero on the assignment and a C in citizenship.
Tutoring
3:40-4:00 3:40-4:30 M/W
Tutoring is not mandatory, however, it is helpful for students to ask questions sometimes in order to stay ahead. I am not available after school at all times due to the fact that I coach three sports. If you will try to schedule a time with me, I will definitely arrange a meeting time.
