Passcode: 812657

                     

 

CLASSROOM PROCEDURE 

1)  Be online by your scheduled time.

2)  Being prepared for class means that you should have the following:

       A. Textbook  (if one is assigned)

       B. One Interactive Notebook (for future use)

       C. A Pencil (Not Pen) with eraser (for future uses)

       D. Loose-leaf papers (straight edge paper is acceptable for future uses)

3)  Your work must be neat, legible, and identified correctly

4)  Failure to use good judgment and poor behavior during any class activity will result in your termination from that activity, and a possible grade of zero may be given should the situation deems it necessary as determined by your teacher.

5) Raise your hand to speak and once permission is given, you unmute your microphone and speak to the teacher and the class.

Grading Policy 

Your grade will be based upon a point system and changed to a letter grade at the end of each marking period. Note that the Dearborn Public Schools have modified the grading procedure into two major categories:

  1. Summative Assessment: 80% (Exams, Projects, Products, & Demonstrations)
  2. Formative Assessment: 20% (Homework, Pop Quizzes, Inquiry Activities, Participation & Attendance)

Late Assignments: Note that a past-due assignment will be given three school days only to be turned in for partial credit; otherwise, the “temporary zero”, which would had been the holding place for the score earned becomes permanent. Absenteeism during a test will be made up on Fridays after school only and within an eight-day period of the actual test day. Absent student(s) MUST see the classroom teacher for guidance for the missed test. Remember that the makeup test can be different from the original test and has NO retake.

Test retakes will be considered by the teacher if the teacher believes that a student performed poorly on the test compared to other students, usually below the seventy-percentile.

ALSO, NOTE THAT CHEATING IS A DISCIPLINARY ISSUE WHICH MAY RESULT IN A ZERO, WHETHER THE WORK INVOLVED IS A FORMATIVE OR A SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT.

Test retakes will be authorized by the teacher once all required information completed and submitted back to the teacher. This must be done within eight (8) school days after the test has been returned to all students.

Note that a test retake can be authorized if the student were absent on the day of the test, and it will be the official test score for that student with no retakes.

Once the cumulative, numerical value is determined for each student, the score is converted to a letter grade as follows:

A+ = 96.5 ; A = 93; A- = 89.5; B+ = 86.5; B = 83; B- = 79.5; C+ = 76.5; C = 73; C- = 69.5; D+ = 66.5; D = 63; D- = 59.5; E = 59 or less.

    • Mr. Saleh says:

      No printing is involved here. Read through the classroom expectations. Understand them. Then Copy and paste on a Google Doc the lower portion that you and your parent/guardian need to fill in the blanks and share it with me for a score. That’s it.
