If ALL problems are not completed, you will get a 0 on that assignment. • Copy all notes and examples into your binder. • Complete practice problems, participate, and ask relevant questions. • Stay seated until you are dismissed by the teacher.

  10. Rules • Be attentive and participate. • Speak only when given permission. • Respect others. (No hitting, pushing, tripping, throwing objects, passing notes, or distracting others in any way.) • Have all materials. • Stay in assigned seat. • Follow the dress code and school rules.

Consequences • 1st Offense – Warning • 2nd Offense – Check 1 – Loss of privileges • 3rd Offense – Check 2 – Conference, Discipline Assignment or Parental Contact AND minor discipline infraction. • 4th Offense – Check 3 – Major Office Referral • Incomplete or unsigned discipline assignments will result in a referral. • Checks do not carry over from day to day. • Infractions such as sleeping in class or refusal to work will result in loss of class participation points.

  13. Homework and Participation • Homework and participation are averaged together to form 1 test grade. • Missed homework results in loss of privileges and a drop in your homework and participation average. • Each student starts with 20 participation points. Refusing to complete assignments results in point deductions.

  14. ??? Block Classes ??? Block classes allow you to get 2 extra credits in 1 school year as compared to a regular class schedule. Successful completion of all of your courses this year will earn you 8 credits toward graduation.

  15. ??? Block Classes ??? GRADING • You will get report cards once every 9 weeks. • You will have exams once every 9 weeks. • Each full unit class has 2 grading periods. • Each ½ unit class has 1 grading period.

  16. ??? Block Classes ??? ATTENDANCE Attendance is extremely important in block classes. Missing one block class is equivalent to missing two regular classes. It is very hard to catch up if you miss consecutive days. If you miss more than 7 days of a block course in one semester you will not get credit for that course. For ½ unit courses the limit is 3 days.
