• Class Instruction 

    All resources and assignments will be posted on Google Classroom!

    I want you all to be able to learn through various sources, such as our textbook, websites, and available programs on our MacBooks.  This will make you an active, not passive, learner.  Such activities include daily questions, in-class work, readings, group activities and projects.

     

    Course Component Specifics 

     

    Class Participation: 

    • This is essential, as it is with any other class.  You will need to interact with your teacher, as well as your peers, and actively participate in discussions.

     

    Assessments:

    • Tests, quizzes, writing assignments, projects

     

    Attendance/Tardiness

     

    Attendance:

     

    • If you are absent from school, you are responsible for picking up any missing work in a timely fashion.  Extended delays on missing assignments may result in a failing grade for that assignment.

    • If you are absent on a test/quiz day, please come see me the first day you are present to schedule a new test/quiz day. This applies if you are absent from class due to a field trip, rehearsal, or any other reasons.

    • If it is a long-term project/assignment, it must be turned in the first day you return to school.

     

    Tardiness:

     

    • Every student must be in his or her assigned seat by the late bell to be considered on time.

    • Repeated tardiness will be addressed with parents and administration.
