ASSIGNMENTS – Students will need to take notes and complete all assignment in their composition books. – The composition notebook will be a grade on test days! – ABSENT? Go to the school webpage: make sure you take notes and complete any work. You have the amount of days you are absent to turn in the assignment…after that a ‘0’ will take its place. If the webpage directs you to come see me---do so  it is your responsibility.

PROCEDURES – All assignments must be turned in on time in the appropriate basket marked with the student’s class period on it. – All students must enter the class with maturity and begin their start up activity “Bell Work”. – Bell Work is a participation grade, every time you do a bell work activity, you will either receive a ‘0’ or ‘100’.* – If you do not know the answer, then only  MUST copy the question down,

PROCEDURES – There is sufficient time in between classes to use the restroom. – The teacher will dismiss you, not the bell. Stay in your seat until you are dismissed. – Students must place backpack under the seat, not in the isle. This will prevent any accidents from occurring.
