What you need for A + P class Good attitude Covered textbook Notebook/Binder with paper Blue or black pen or pencil Colored Pencils

What you can expect from me I am available before school in C310 and after school in C310 for any help that you may need. I am willing to work with you so you can meet your potential. Notes, PowerPoints, homework, etc., for class should be posted on my Website. To get to my website go to www.ridleysd.org Under schools click on “Ridley High School” Under “Faculty” click on marianne martin I will try to get your homework, tests, and quizzes back in a timely manner. I usually get tests and quizzes back the next day. Labs usually take longer to mark.

What I expect from you An interest in the class (class participation) Be on time If absent, turn work in before school in C310, check the boards for assignments and get appropriate papers. If you were absent for a test or quiz you will take it the next day you are in class unless other arrangements have been made with your teacher. Assignments are to be turned in on time. If work is accepted late, there will be a 10% drop in the grade per day. Work will not be accepted once it has been turned back to any class. If you know you will miss class (field trip, sports, etc.) please let me know so I can get your work.

Classroom Management Issues Don’t just sit in class, be PART of the class Participate, ask questions, enjoy the class! Work with students who will work with you. Be on time (if late have your planner signed and timed) For 1st block, if you are late: 4 times = 1 grade lower; 6 times = 2 grades lower; 8 times = 3 grades lower; 10 times = fail marking period

A + P Grading Policy Grades will be determined by: 60% Assessments (tests, projects, etc.) 10% Quizzes 15% Lab Work 10% Homework/Classwork 5% Class Participation/Citizenship

A + P Grading Policy All grades will be recorded as a PERCENTAGE. Qualitative assignments/assessments will be recorded as follows: A+ = 100 C+ = 78 F+ = 58 A = 95 C = 75 F = 50 (effort) A - = 91 C - = 71 F = 40 (no effort) B+ = 88 D+ = 68 B = 85 D = 65 B - = 81 D - = 61

A + P Grading Policy As per school policy, if you cut class or are truant from school you are not allowed to make up missed work for credit (you get an 40 for those assignments, tests, etc.). You may make up work without credit.

A + P Grading Policy No safety contract = F lab grade No lab may be done until you have turned in a completed safety contract. Your grade will be a 40 for any labs done until you have turned in a completed safety contract. Labs will not be made up for credit. For the safety of all students, any inappropriate behavior during a lab/activity will result in a 40.
