Tests/Essays/Projects – 50%Quizzes/Classwork - 30ATB/Homework/Participation – 20%· If a student does not understand an assignment, it is expected that the student will try to complete the entire assignment to the best of his/her ability.
· All returned tests and quizzes will be kept in the classroom.
· Current student grades can be accessed on Power School.
· Cheating (this includes talking during a test/quiz or handing in identical work) will result in a zero for the assignment and possible disciplinary action.
Assignments and Make-up work
· All assignments are due at the beginning of the period.
· Homework assignments not handed in will receive a zero.
· If a student is absent from school, it is the students’ responsibility to call the homework hotline. If the missed work is not handed in, homework points will be deducted.
Projects· Students will be working on several cooperative assignments this year. If a problem develops within a group, the students must notify Mrs. Shiner immediately.
· On take-home assignments it is perfectly acceptable to ask a classmate for help. However, it is not acceptable to hand in identical work. This is considered cheating and will, as is the case with any form of cheating, result in a zero and possible disciplinary action.
Classroom Disruptions
· Cell phones or any other electronic devices are not permitted in the classroom. If a student violates this rule, the device will be immediately taken from the student turned into the office.
