Since all of you are in high school, I expect that all of you know how to behave in class in order to promote a positive learning environment. But, just in case you need a friendly reminder, I have listed some guidelines below, along with some other important information: Be respectful to everyone and always display a positive attitude. Treat others (peers, administrators, teachers, other staff members, and visitors) like you would like to be treated. Do not talk while the teacher is talking to the class. If you have a question during whole-class instruction, please raise your hand to be recognized. Listen while others talk. Do not answer the phone or the intercom; this is the teacher s responsibility. Ask before using the telephone. Behave so as not to disrupt teaching and learning. Participate in all class activities. Respect the property of others. Always consider the feelings of others. Question processes and recognize

correct/incorrect responses in a respectful manner. Do not bother anything that does not belong to you unless you have been given permission to do so. Be prompt to class and be prepared for learning. Be in dress code when you enter the classroom. Be quiet immediately when the tardy bell rings. Have your homework turned into the designated trays before the bell rings! Be honest and do your own work. Do not cheat! Be responsible for your own actions. Attend class regularly, participate in all class activities, take notes, ask questions, study, keep up with your work, and get assignments that you missed due to an absence. Call another student to get assignments when you are absent so that you do not get behind. Make-Up Work: Requesting make-up work resulting from an absence is the responsibility of the student. (1) You will have one school day to turn in homework if you were absent the day it was assigned. (2) If you are absent the day it was due, you must turn it in the day you return to school. (3) Students who are suspended will receive make-up work through the guidance office during the suspension. These assignments are due on the first day that you return to school. A zero will be given for all assignments that are not turned in by this time. Listen to and follow all instructions the first time that they are given. Keep the classroom neat and clean. [No gum, no food (including candy), and no drinks are allowed in the classroom.] Please place used paper and other trash in the proper containers. Please do not tear paper out of spiral notebooks and leave the small bits of paper on the floor. Follow all school rules, including the rules in the Hamilton County School s Code of Acceptable Behavior and Discipline, and the rules in the ERHS Student Handbook. Teacher Actions and Student Consequences for Tardiness Consequences for tardies start over each quarter (though the tardies/absences will continue to be recorded): 1st Tardy: Warning 2nd Tardy: Warning, Parent Notified 3rd Tardy: Thirty (30) minute detention assigned 4th Tardy: One hour (60) minute detention assigned 5th Tardy: Two hour (120) minute detention assigned 6th Tardy: A disciplinary referral will be written Consequences for Breaking Classroom Rules (Rules that are not listed in the Student Handbook and the Code of Acceptable Behavior and Discipline Booklets) given. may also be ferral for the fourth offense. Note: Rules that are included in the student handbook and the code of acceptable behavior and discipline booklets will be dealt with according to the consequences that are listed in the appropriate booklet. Progress Reports:

Students and parents can check grades in Power School at any time. You must complete a form to request printed progress reports. These will be printed by the homeroom teacher. Required Classroom Materials That Will Help You Be More Successful In Mr. Morris Class: solely for algebra) -leaf notebook paper List any policies related to submitting work late, Assessments and Grading List type of assessments you use in course. For example, Essays, Multiple Choice, Short Answer, Projects, Class Participation, etc. If you have a specific project that you always do, list it here. If you have a rubric you use for essays or projects, attach it to syllabus. Your grade will be calculated as shown below: Grading formula for each 9-week s grade: Teaching tasks other than tests 50% o (Specify what this would be. Homework, class participation, classwork, etc.) Assessments and Tests 50% o (Specify what type of assessments will receive a test grade; such as, projects, essays) Grade Calculations for high school courses with a state-level test: 1 st Nine Weeks 50% 2 nd Nine Weeks 50% [which is made up of 75% teacher determined grades and 25% from the state-level test] If this course is one of the following, keep the appropriate sentence on your syllabus and erase the other two. If none of these apply, erase all three.
