I will arrive on time with a positive attitude and have all homework completed. 2. I will come to class in proper Doyle uniform. 3. I will be responsible for my learning and accept the consequences of inappropriate actions. 4. I will take my assigned seat immediately upon arrival to class and be ready to work.

Geography Expectations 6. I understand that notes are to be neatly written on lined loose-leaf paper. The date and title needs to appear at the top of each page. All titles need to be underlined with a ruler. 7. I will not be allowed to leave the classroom once the class begins, except for emergencies. Please be advised that abuse of this privilege will result in it being revoked. 8. I understand that if I am late/absent for a class, it is my responsibility to find out what work has been missed and complete on my own time. Three (3) lates results in a lunch detention. Five (5) lates results in a phone call home. Please review the late policy for further consequences beyond 5 lates. 9. I understand that all work must be completed individually, unless otherwise stated. All work that is to be collected from a previous day will be collected at the beginning of the period. 10. I understand that homework will be randomly checked, and I understand that I am expected to have my work completed with me in class.

Geography Expectations 11. I understand that it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that assignments are submitted on the due date. If special circumstances prevent a student from meeting a deadline, he or she should speak to the teacher before the due date. Late assignments result in a Request to Achieve form being completed. If the assignment isn’t handed in on the new due date, then late assignments will be subject to a deduction of 1/3 of a level per day (Level 3+ becomes a Level 3) 12. I understand that missed tests due to a valid reason will be written on the first day I return to school. 13. I have read, understand, and accept the rules and regulations within the student agenda, including the section on plagiarism. Cheating automatically results in zero for all parties involved. Notification letters will be forwarded to Parent/Guardian, Guidance and Administration. 14. I understand that no electronic devices will be allowed in the classroom. Any electronic device brought to class will be given to school administration.
