POLICIES
Make-up work
· If you miss class for any reason, you are still responsible for all material covered in that class.
· It is your responsibility to contact me to find out what you missed (this should be done
during homeroom or after school – not during class)
· If you are absent on the day of quiz or test, you will be required to take that quiz/test on
the day you return.
· All other work must be made up within 1 week of the day your return to class. Any student
who fails to make up all work within one week will receive a 0 (zero) grade on the
assignments that were not made up. (For extended absences see me for make up dates.)
· I will not chase you for any work! These are your responsibilities.
Grading
· Student evaluations will be based on a variety of formal & informal assessments. These will
include, but not be limited to, tests, quizzes, class discussions & problems of the week.
· All tests & quizzes (formal assessments) will be sent home for a parent/guardian signature
regardless of the grade. This is so parents are aware of how their child is doing on a regular
basis so there are no surprises come report card time. These must be returned & will be put into
student’s binder to study from and for use during conferences.
· All classes will have a quiz or test at least every 2 weeks. If 2 weeks pass &
parents/guardians do not see a quiz or test come home, ask – your child should have
one.
· Unit tests will always be announced at least 1 week in advance. Quizzes may be announced
or unannounced.
· Homework & notebook checks will count toward learner quality grades.
