Overall Attitude This class is wholly dependent on student cooperation, respect and maturity, all of which are expected of sophomores at SJHS. Please be aware and respectful of the classroom environment, the opinions and beliefs of your fellow classmates, and the disposition of the teacher in the classroom. Your attitude will greatly influence the class, your depth of understanding, and the level of enjoyment we all will be able to achieve. Homework 1. All assignments will be posted on Power School and the school website. In addition, I will announce and post the assignments in the classroom and record the assignments on my phone message. 2. Major assignments will be assigned well in advance to allow students to organize their time. 3. Any early out is not an excuse to not turning in homework. If you miss part of the day for an early out or a doctor s appointment, retreat, etc., homework is still due that day. Put the homework in my box before you leave school, when you arrive at school, or when you return to school. 4. If you are gone the day before an assignment is due, and the assignment was assigned prior to the time you were gone, it is due on the due date or the day you return. 5. All tests missed are made up the day you return unless otherwise arranged with the teacher. 6. All work is to be in on time. Any work turned in late will be worth ½ credit. EVALUATION: The student s grade will be based on a series of quizzes, exams, homework assignments, projects and class participation. The total accumulation of points will result in a grade based on the following scale: 98.5-100% = A+ 91.5 98.4= A 89.5 91.4= A- 87.5 89.4= B+ 81.5 87.4= B 79.5 81.4= B- 77.5 79.4= C+ 71.5 77.4= C 69.5 71.4= C- 67.5 69.4= D+ 61.5 67.4= D 59.5 61.4= D- Below 59.4= F Your work (neatness, quality, thoughtfulness, and thoroughness) should reflect the grade you wish to earn in this class. It is ultimately up to the student (namely, you) to earn his or her points in the class.
