Mrs. Hedaria
Late / Incomplete Work
Absentee Policy
My expectation is that ALL assignments be completed and turned in on time
Parents will be contacted every time an assignment is late or receives lower than a 65%.
Printer and Internet issues are not an excuse for late work. You can print at the library.
Students have a 1 day grace period to turn in assignments, with a late work pink slip. This assignment will not earn above half credit.
* YES, WE DID SOMETHING IMPORTANT WHILE YOU WERE ABSENT.
* It is the student’s responsibility to check the class calendar, or website to determine what they missed. .
* A student has two extra days to turn in any work assigned on a day a student was absent.
Technology
All teachers have a classroom website that contains information about classroom activities, parents and students are highly suggested to check this nightly to see the daily homework and to check for important updates.
Infinite Campus is updated weekly, students and parents are highly suggested to check this weekly to see where a grade stands. If you have any questions about grades please me at
Computer access is used throughout class, we use Chromebooks to do some class work. I give extra credit if essays are typed, as most of these will be homework based.
Plagiarism
Cheating
Plagiarism is the taking ideas and writings of another
and passing them off as one’s own.
* The teacher will notify the administration and contact parents if cheating / plagiarism is suspected.
* The student will be given a zero for that particular test or assignment.
* The student will receive a detention.
In this class, plagiarism includes...
1. turning in another’s work as one’s own
2. copying work from a friend before class (or while in another class)
3. including a source but failing to cite it
4. copying an author’s exact words and passing them off as one’s own
Consequences….
1st time: a conference with me and half credit.
2nd time: parent contact and zero credit.
3rd time: parent teacher conference and detention/office referral.
Book Treatment Agreement
“I understand that I am responsible for the well being of the books that I barrow. I understand that any damage I inflict on a poor innocent book I will have to pay for.”
Independent Reading
Students will be responsible for reading a book every two weeks.
This time frame allows students to adequately remember what they have read and talk about it with others. .
Further information about reading will be provided later.
