My two pet peeves:

1) Be a CLASS ACT.  I have zero tolerance for name calling and/or put downs. All conversation is to be ‘G’ rated. Any put downs or inappropriate language will result in an automatic 15 minute detention during lunch.  Failure to complete your 15 minutes also results in a 5 point deduction. Respect yourself, others, and the environment you work in.

 

2) Be ready to work. BE IN YOUR SEAT WHEN THE BELL RINGS and start on the entry task. Be aware that each tardy costs you 5 points. This can cause you to drop a full grade if you accumulate too many tardies! I detest the cattle herd approach to lining up before the bell rings.  Please remain seated until I dismiss you. Do not pack up early (unless you want to spend lunch in my room!)

 

3) I am a cell phone freak – use it – lose it!  *If you have your cell phone out during an exam you automatically receive a zero on your exam.

When I talk, you don’t.

When I write, you write.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ATTENDANCE POLICY:

*PLEASE NOTE – IF YOU MISS MORE THAN 12 DAYS it is not likely that you will pass! 

*For unexcused absences, all missed work will be given a grade of zero.

*For every excused absence 3 points will be taken off your grade due to loss of participation points.

*For every tardy, missed detention, and unexcused absence, 5 points will be taken off your grade.
