Participation Policy

Students should be in class every day. One of the most significant factors
affecting school success is regular attendance. Doing make-up work, getting notes
from a friend, or reading from a book can never compensate for the class experience
where the teacher explains the material and the class has the opportunity for guided
interaction with the concept being studied.

Class Participation Includes:


 Listening and exhibiting good class behaviors.
 Being to class on time and daily attendance.
 Being on task and completing assignments on time.
 Internet, e-mail, and games only when approved by your teacher.

Make Up Work:

If you are absent for any reason, it is your responsibility to find out what work has
been missed (look in your folder for the “Absent Paper”). If the absence is excused,
you have the next two class periods to make up missing assignments and tests, and
you may utilize extra lab hours to make up this work. Assignments and tests not
made up within the specified time will be accepted for half credit.

ABSENCES

 School-excused absences: the student is responsible to get the assigned work


before they leave. The class work missed will have to be made up by the student
by the next two class periods for full credit.
 Excused absences: the teacher will allow the student to make-up the work
missed by the next two class periods.
 Unexcused absences: the student will not be allowed to make up the work
missed.
 A student is tardy if he/she is not in the room when the bell rings. The student
will automatically serve detention on the third tardy and every one thereafter.
 Excessive tardiness or absenteeism will result in parent contact and a referral to
the administration.
Classroom Rules
 No cell phones! Turn them off or don’t bring them at all. If it is heard in class (ring or
vibrate), I will confiscate it and you can pick it up at the office at the end of the day! See
student handbook.

 Dress code will be enforced daily. I will confiscate your hat if I see it, whether you are
wearing it or not. Please put them away at 8:20. Check your planner for the rules and
regulations on all student dress.

 Lab hours are at 8:00 each morning, during homeroom and after school on Mondays &
Tuesdays or by special arrangement with me. My lab is not available during lunch.

 Music/headphones will be allowed in class during individual work time. They are not
allowed during a common assessment! If I can hear it, it is too loud! It must be
completely removed while I am talking. Failure to comply will result in loss of privileges!

 No food or drink is allowed in the classroom. Detention will be assigned if this


becomes a habit or evidence is found at your station.

 Any equipment broken/damaged at your station within the classroom will be your
responsibility to replace/pay for. Please report damages, etc as soon as you notice them.

 If you are absent, check your folder the day you get back for a blue “Absent Paper”
which explains what you missed and need to make up.

 Hall Pass is the vest on the back shelf with Room 102 on it. You must wear it if I excuse
you from class and you must exchange your cell phone for it. You will not be allowed to
leave class every day or leave with your cell phone.

 Copying - Students will automatically receive a zero for the assignment copied (or
allowed to be copied) and parents will be notified along with detention assigned. A
second offense results in dismissal from the class.
