Please review the behavior matrix in the student handbook and note the posted behavior expectations for the classroom.<\/li>\n<li>The building tardy policy will be in effect. You will receive a Wednesday detention after you have received 6 tardies (cumulative in ALL your classrooms, not just mine).\u00a0 Be on time!\u00a0 Also, when you accumulate tardies only in my class, it will be considered a behavior issue and P.B.I.S will apply.<\/li>\n<li>The classroom is a RED ZONE. Please do not use your cell phone unless Mr. Hewitt has specifically asked you to use it for something.\u00a0 This includes, but is not limited to, the emergency text to\/from your parents (they need to call the school, you need to use the classroom phone), the calculator on your phone (you will be assigned a calculator in the classroom), or the music you have stored on it (I want you talking about the math with your group, not listening to music).\u00a0 Turn OFF your phone when you enter the classroom.\u00a0 If you have it out while a quiz or a test is occurring (even AFTER you have turned yours in) I will assume you are using it to cheat or to help someone to cheat and penalties will apply.<\/li>\n<li>The district attendance policy will apply. If you accumulate 10 undocumented absences, you will be on audit.\u00a0 To receive full credit, you will need a 78% or better on the cumulative final exam.\u00a0 Otherwise, you will receive partial credit.\u00a0 Documented absences include doctor\u2019s visits, funerals, illness (you must get a doctor\u2019s note), court appearances, etc.\u00a0 NOTE, your parent calling in your absence is NOT documented, it is just excused.\u00a0 These count towards audit.\u00a0 Also, your tardies count toward audit.\u00a0 Please bring all documentation WITHIN 10 days of the absence, to the attendance office.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Grading<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each assignment and assessment will be graded and students will receive feedback in a timely manner. \u00a0If you are absent for a test or quiz, you will be expected to make it up within 10 school days of the original absence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For each objective on the assignment the student will receive one of the following scores:<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>4<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Advanced:<\/p>\n<p>You clearly understand the material given and could teach or assist someone else. \u00a0Very minor mistakes made, none are conceptual, only arithmetic.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>3<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Proficient:<\/p>\n<p>You understand the material but are making some minor conceptual mistakes.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>2<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Partially Proficient:<\/p>\n<p>You have the basic grasp of the concept being studied, but there are some major conceptual misunderstandings.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>1<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Not Proficient:<\/p>\n<p>You have little understanding of the concept being taught and need to seek additional help.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Your goal is to receive a 3 or a 4 on all of your objectives.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>How you will be graded<\/p>\n<p>Per district policy, grading is divided into two categories:\u00a0 summative and formative.<\/p>\n<p>Summative (80%)<\/p>\n<p>The summative category shows that you have mastered a topic.\u00a0 It includes projects, tests, and quizzes.\u00a0 If you are absent for a test or quiz, you will be expected to make it up with 1 week of the original date.\u00a0 Please check and be aware of what you miss when you are absent!\u00a0 This is an honors class, please be aware that there will not be retakes on any tests or quizzes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Formative (20%)<\/p>\n<p>This includes homework, classwork, computer lab work, and explorations.\u00a0 I do GRADE formative work, I do not just look to see that you have done it.\u00a0 So, formative work MAY BE REDONE.\u00a0 To redo, turn in the problems which need to be redone (not all of them) <strong>ON A SEPARATE SHEET <\/strong>with the original attached within 1 week of when you get it back.\u00a0 Formative work IS IMPORTANT!\u00a0 It tells you (and Mr. Hewitt) what you still need to work on, and what you already know.\u00a0 Do your work, and do it again if you don\u2019t get it right!\u00a0 If you receive an 80% or better on your formative grade, I will drop your lowest quiz score.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Extra Help<\/p>\n<p>If you are struggling or have a question on a problem, please email Mr. Hewitt.\u00a0 I will either email you back, or go over your question in class.\u00a0 I am available after school on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays unless otherwise detained because of a required meeting for professional development.\u00a0 I am here at school by 6:30 am, so students may ask for help at that time as well.\u00a0 Utilize your class time well and get your questions
