**Respect others and their property.**

Be on task - pay attention.

Homework and Projects

It is YOUR responsibility to get assignments when you are absent. All missed assignments are to be made up in a timely fashion. A zero is the grade recorded until work is handed in.

Hand in all assignments on time. Full credit will not be given for late work.
Neatness counts! Write both your first and last name on assignments. Assignments on loose leaf must also include the date and page number or topic of assignment. Written work must be legible or it will have to be redone.

Quizzes/Tests

When a quiz/test is missed, the grade will be recorded as a zero. YOU must see me to schedule a time to take it in order to replace the zero with a grade. If you fail to do this by the end of the marking period, the grade remains a zero.

Students have the opportunity to retake all failed quizzes/tests to earn a passing grade. If you fail a quiz or test, YOU must see me in order to schedule a re-take on the same information. The maximum grade that can be earned on a re-take is a 65.

Be prepared for the occasional pop quiz. (really)

Music/Band/Other activities/Illness

· Frequent absenteeism will lower your grade. We all have days when we don't feel our best. Unless you are seriously ill, you should attend school.

· YOU are responsible for class work, notes, homework, etc… that you miss due to lessons/activities/illness.

Your grade will be based on the following formula:

Homework / class work-	10%
Tests and Projects-	50%
Quizzes -	30%
Participation-	10%

Final Grade -

100%
