1 U.S. History and Geography
Teacher: Mr. Demas Textbook: The American Vision Conference: 1st period Lunch: B session Contact Information: - Phone ext Room: 209 Credits: One credit. Required for graduation. Iwo Jima

2 Grading Policy Grades: Students will be graded on three categories as shown in the pie chart. Two categories are 40% or together 80% of total grade. The other 20% will be mainly homework and in class work such as reading assignments or worksheets. Late Work: I will not accept late work. I will only allow it for excused absences and other situations that may arise such as family emergencies. Please contact me and let me know if there is something going on. I can be flexible. I understand “life happens!” Make - Up Work: Tests/ quizzes: One week to make up tests either before or after school. NOT DURING CLASS TIME. All other work: Depends on circumstances and length of assignment. Extra Credit: All work must be turned in and tests taken before it is considered. I do offer extra points for everyone on certain occasions during the year. Power Teacher: All grades will be entered in Power Teacher according to length and depth of assignment. A general rule is no later than one week from due date. Simply adding scores will not give you an accurate grade as I use weighted categories for grades. Please contact me for more information about grades. *One Sheet Projects vary by unit study and involve multiple higher order learning skills. On one standard size sheet of paper they need to show a students best work and include color and detail to meet the scoring rubric.
