                                                          Welcome to your first year of high school!!

Supplies: Your chromebook and paper and pencil (if you would like to have them for notes)
 
Chromebooks and Textbooks: Each student has been assigned a Chromebook. You will need that chromebook on a daily basis.  If you are having trouble with yours you will need to see Ms Lamarr. Textbooks are available online and there is a classroom set for use while in my class.  Students who damage or misuse Chromebooks or text books will be responsible for replacement costs.
 
Grading Percentages: The work done in my classroom falls into one of five categories. Each category is worth a different percent towards the 100% possible for each quarter.
Tests-25%     Discussions-25%     Homework-25%     Quizzes-15%     Bell Ringer-10%  

Grades: This is the grade scale that will be used for the class.  Grades will be updated online, but I may be contacted via email, before or after school with any questions about a students grade.
A    90% +                                
B    80% - 89%        
C    70% - 79%
D    60% - 69%
F    59% and below

Tardies and Citizenship: The attendance and tardy policy of Sand Ridge Jr. High will be followed in my class. The policy is available to read on the school’s website. Tardies are also given for not being in your seat ready to work when the bell rings.

Cheating: Any student(s) caught or showing intent of cheating, enabling cheating or guilty of plagiarism will result in a zero for the assignment and will receive an automatic U for citizenship. The assignment CANNOT be made up. The students(s) may also be subject to possible school action.
 
Quizzes: Quizzes are open notes. The quizzes cannot be redone because students are expected to take notes over the material and have the opportunity to use the notes for the quizzes.

Tests: All tests can be retaken before/after school, or during the advisory period. They can only retake the test twice.
 
Hall Passes: Students will receive 4 hall pass coupons per term. Any unused passes will be turned in at the end of the quarter for 5 points (each) of extra credit.
 
Late Assignments: All assignments are due no later than one week before midterm for the first half of the quarter, or the end of the term for the second half of the quarter. Any assignment that is late will have 15% removed from the total score.
 
Absences and Make-Up Assignments: When an absence occurs, it is the responsibility of the student to do all missed assignments. Absent students have the number of days they are absent to turn in their work for full credit after that the assignment will be considered late work and lose 15%

Note: Students who bring distracting electronics (and other objects) to the classroom will have them taken away. .  The first time an object (phone, toy, etc.) is removed, it will be stored in class during the period. On a second  infraction the object will be taken for the class period. On the third infraction the item will be taken to the office.  

All policies and procedures in this disclosure statement are subject to change at teacher's discretion.
