How Our Class Will Behave Honestly! This means you complete your own work, keep it yourself, and let me know if you see something dishonest happening.

How Our Class Will Behave Punctually! You don’t want to miss out of any of the interesting, fun things we will be doing. Plus, tardiness is disrespectful and we already talked about that…

Make-up work and late work Excused absences have an extension equal to the number of days absent. Late work – turn in the next day for ½ credit, after that no points will be allowed.  It is YOUR responsibility to get your make-up work! It will be in the absent folder with a make-up buddy sheet

Attendance Procedures You will be in your seat when the bell rings.  If not in your seat you will be marked tardy.  For every tardy you will lose 5 points of your 210 Participation Points. Participation Points:  Each student starts the term with 210 points for participation and listening.  You will lose points for every disruption you cause in class, using electronics, sleeping, not performing room cleaning jobs or any inattentiveness.

FACS Pass You will receive ONE FACS pass each quarter. You may leave the room up to three times per quarter. If you do not use the passes you will get 3 points per unused star.
