Daily Required materials: Text book, graphing calculator, school planner, notebook, pencil.

(Text books and calculators will be provided by the school. School calculators are to be used at school only.  If either of these items are damaged or lost, fines will be issued.  If a student needs to use a calculator for homework assignments, they must be provided by the parent).

Citizenship grades: Will be lowered for the following reasons:

·        Disruptive/Disrespectful classroom behavior

·        Excessive absences and/or tardies

·        Coming to class unprepared

Absences: It is the students’ responsibility to find out what was missed and make it up within the same number of days as the absence was for.  If a test or quiz was missed, the student may arrange a time to come in before or after school to make it up.

Grading: There will be three components to each student’s letter grade.

1.      Assignments                       (40%)
