Procedures and Policies


1) Daily Routine
a. Bellwork – A short 5-10 minute assignment designed to reinforce previous learning or to
introduce new concepts while I take roll. The answers will be discussed following each day’s
bellwork.

b. Classwork – The bulk of our class time will be spent in classwork, which includes lectures,
activities, tests, quizzes, and review of homework and class topics.

c. Homework – At the end of each class, I will try to allot time to explain the homework, do 1-2
examples, and give time to work on the assignment and to ask questions.

2) Make-up Work Policy


a. It is your responsibility to check Kiddom, Skyward, and ask me for make-up work.
Make-up work must be turned in to me within 10 school days of your absence.

Note: Sometimes there is no written work to be made up, but if you miss an in-depth lesson on
vocabulary or a grammar point, it would be in your best interest to visit me before school, after
school, or during RTI to get a review of the material that you missed.

3) Late Work Policy – AI (See Student Handbook for more info.)


1st day late = -10%
2nd day late = -20%
3rd day late = zero for the assignment
3 zeroes = Assistant principal referral + Call home.

4) SHS School-wide Grading Policy

Assessments (Tests/Quizzes/Projects) = 50%

Classwork (Classwork/Bellwork) = 40%

Homework (Homework) = 10%


5) Miscellaneous Classroom Policies:
a. Tardiness – You are tardy when the door is closed after the final bell.

b. Bathroom breaks – You will be given time during class for bathroom breaks.

c. Dismissal – I will dismiss you, not the bell because of the new split dismissal and cleaning
procedures.

d. Food and Drink – Food and drink will be allowed under the following conditions:
i. Food must be snack size.

ii. Drinks must be in bottles.

iii. If you make a mess, let me know and then proceed to clean it up.

NOTE: Use common sense and common courtesy. If you have to give a presentation or
we are doing speaking activities, you shouldn’t be stuffing your face full of food.

e. Personal Devices: Cell phones, Smart watches, Earbuds/Airpods, etc. -


These items are not to be used without permission. You will receive ONE WARNING.
Afterwards, I will confiscate the item until the end of class.

f. Cleanup: You will be assigned a seat. You are responsible for the entire desk and computer
before, during, and just after your class period. If something is wrong with your desk area or the
computer, or if it is messy when you arrive, then, please, let me know.

g. Criticism: Harsh criticism or making fun of others will not be tolerated.

Keys to Success:
(a.k.a. – “How do I pass?” or “How do I get an “A”?”)

1) Pay attention and Listen.


2) Turn in all of your work.
3) Study the vocabulary of the current chapter at least 10 min. outside of class each day.
4) Ask questions when you don’t understand, and come to tutoring if you become completely lost.

Recovery is available for every quarter and Credit Recovery is available if you fail the 1 st semester.
