Expectations for Academic Success:
Late Work Policy:
Hand in all late work directly to me. DO NOT put on my desk, turn in with current assignments, or give late work to a substitute This also applies to the Google Drive Drop Box. Please refer to District Student Code of Conduct for criteria on late work.
It is VERY IMPORTANT to become familiar with Google and Google Chrome. Not only is it a tool for you to obtain important campus information but it contains a daily assignment calendar for your classes. Please familiarize yourself with it because these resources are vital to your daily learning.
There are no excuses for not completing your assignment(s). If you do not have access to a computer at home, then you can access one in the library before/after school or during lunch. NO EXCUSES! You may also make arrangements before/after school to use an I-Pad in my classroom.
Absences
Obtaining Make-up Work (will go over procedure in class)
It is the student’s responsibility to obtain work when absent; otherwise, assignments made during absence are handled as late work. Please see me for any copies you may need. School policy for work missed while absent will be enforced.
Do your best – be in class – bring materials every day – have a good attitude – let’s have a great year of LEARNING!!!
