ACADEMIC GRADE
Assignments and projects account for the majority of the total grade and should mainly be worked on during class time. The point value for each assignment varies according to the difficulty of the concept, and the amount of time needed to complete the project. Students are graded on their ability to demonstrate their level of understanding of a concept, their creativity and originality, their technique and skill with various mediums and tools, the overall craftsmanship and neatness of their work, how they used and managed their time throughout the project, and project-specific (quantitative) requirements. Grades and scores are uploaded to the Weber School District portal through Canvas on a weekly basis.

Assignments will be completed using traditional art methods (paper/pencil/paint etc.). Instructional content, demonstration videos, slideshows/presentations, grading requirements and rubrics, and project deadlines are available online in the Modules section on the Canvas platform. Assignments will be turned in directly to the instructor--not submitted online. This is NOT an online course.

GRADING SCALE
A (100%-93%)  A- (92%-90%)  B+ (89%-87%)  B (86%-83%)  B- (82%-80%)  C+ (79%-77%)
C (76%-73%) C- (72%-70%)  D+ (69%-67%)  D (66%-63%)  D- (62%-60%)  F (59% and below)

LATE WORK
Students may turn in late work at any time during the first nine weeks of the term. Late work will not be accepted during the last week of the term. Late assignments are only eligible for credit during the term in which they were assigned. 

MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES
The $25.00 district fee covers the cost of all consumable materials students will use in this class. This fee is required for ALL students enrolled in the class—even students who have qualified for a partial fee waiver. 

Students will receive their supplies as they need them. Some of these supplies will become the property and responsibility of the student and should be brought to class every day. Items that are lost or stolen once a student has received their supplies will require an additional cost to replace. 

OPTIONAL SUPPLIES
Students can supplement their art supplies with additional materials from home. A few suggestions include a pencil pouch (to keep their supplies together), a hand-held pencil sharpener, a pink eraser, and colored pens or markers.

LOCKERS
Each student will be issued an art locker at the beginning of the semester. It is strongly recommended that students secure their property by bringing a combination-style lock from home asap. It is required that the combination be given to the instructor (which will be kept on file). Lost or stolen items are not the responsibility of the visual arts department.

CITIZENSHIP
Behaviors that contribute to a drop in citizenship include: being excessively tardy (as per the tardy policy in the Student Handbook), repeatedly coming to class unprepared (no assignment or supplies), refusal to follow directions from the teacher, insubordination, inappropriate use of electronic devices during class time, classroom removal, truancy, cheating, vandalism of property, and misbehavior in the presence of a substitute teacher. Once a citizenship grade has been earned, it is irreversible for the duration of the term.

CLASSROOM RULES
--Be polite and show respect for everyone in the room.
--Be on time, prepared with your materials, and working during class time.
--Clean up any messes that you are responsible for making.
--Keep food in your backpack at all times. Beverage containers must have a lid that closes tightly.
--Follow all school-wide standards and rules.

HALL PASS
Students may only use the hall pass if they arrived to class on time. Students are given six (6) five-minute hall passes per term to use at their discretion. Once a student has exhausted all of their hall pass opportunities, they will not be allowed to leave the classroom unless it is an emergency or at the immediate request of an administrator, counselor or parent. Unused hall passes cannot be carried over from one term to the next, and are not eligible for extra credit points at the end of the term. Students who consistently exceed the five-minute expectation risk have their hall pass privileges revoked. Students must be on time to class if they wish to use the hall pass. 

SCHOOL PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Students who lose, misuse, waste or break equipment, room facilities, materials or supplies will be fined the cost to repair or replace the damaged or wasted items. This behavior will also negatively impact their citizenship.

DEFACING ANOTHER STUDENT'S WORK
Students who intentionally deface or destroy the work of another student will receive a “0” for the same assignment, and will not be allowed to make up the lost points. They may also suffer a drop in citizenship.

CHEATING
Cheating is defined as one student allowing another student to work on their assignment for an extended length of time (longer than 5 minutes), claiming the work of another person as their own, or tracing when tracing is not permitted. A student who is involved in an incident of cheating will have the option to redo/restart their project or receive a zero on the assignment. Cheating may result in a drop of their citizenship grade.

ATTENDANCE AND MAKE UP
Students who have excused absences are allowed additional time (as needed) to complete their assignments. It is the responsibility of the student to contact the instructor about additional make-up time. Advisory can be used to make up participation points lost due to absences. 

ELECTRONIC DEVICES
The use of a student's Chromebook during class time is only allowed when it directly relates to the current activity or assignment. The use of personal electronic devices such as, cell phones, headphones/earbuds, and tablets during class time are prohibited unless permission from the instructor has been obtained. If a student wishes to carry a cell phone on their person, the device must be silenced and kept out of sight during class time. Students who do not comply with this policy will have their device confiscated by the instructor. The visual arts department is not responsible for the loss or theft of any electronic device.
