Class Expectations

Agenda Book:

Everyone will have their agenda when you come to class. Make sure your homework is written in your agenda for each day.  Write out for the whole week on Monday!

 

Binder:

Have your binder every day in class - a 3 ring binder with tabs.  Tabs in order should be: DO NOW / NOTES / HANDOUTS / REFLECTION / HW

 

Homework:

Homework will be given usually once each week on Mondays. I usually will check it on the Friday of that week.  Students can do it when the time is best for them during the week.

**************Studying for 10-15 minutes each night will be vital to your success.*************

 

Late Work:

All assignments should be turned in on their due date. NO EXCUSES!!!!. If the student does not have the HW the student will be assigned to the ZAP (Zeros Aren’t Preferred) program. Zap is held on school-selected days from 2:15-3:15.

If the student is out sick or due to discipline - then the BCS policy will be accepted for work turned in after the due date.

 

If you are absent:  YOU are responsible to know what you missed, to do it and turn it in to me.

1. Get your assignment off my webpage, from Curve or from the classroom make-up folder (if applicable).
2. Your make-up work must be finished by the number of days in which you were absent.
3. When completed make sure you give it to me during DO NOW at the beginning of class, with your name, the date you were absent, and your class period number.

 

Group work:

We will have assignments where you will work in groups.

1. Stay on task. Any conversation other than our subject matter will result in loss of group privileges.
2. Pay attention to the noise level I indicate for the group work!
3. Even though you are working in groups you should generate your own answer – all students are expected to participate equally.

 

Sharpening Pencils:

Pencils are to be sharpened BEFORE class begins. No one will sharpen pencils during class. To make yourself better prepared make sure you have more than one sharpened pencil at your desk.

 

Classwork:

Classwork is to be placed in the correct color for your period in the bin located on the side- wall right by the door of the room. Please place your work in the correct bin.  The bins are marked and color coded.

 

Everyday you should bring the following items to class:

Book

Binder

Paper

Pencils/Eraser

In class art supplies (crayons/markers, ruler) 

An "AR" type of book (to read if finished with a quiz or Test earlier than others)

 

**Not coming to class prepared will result in receiving a What-Slip**
