    Attendance:

    Every day is important! Your success in this course is directly related to how often you are present. Students are expected to log in on time and spend the entire class time online.  If you are absent, it is your responsibility to get the work and notes that you missed. Your teacher will not remind you to make up assignments. If you miss any class the day before a test and return the day of the test, you will be expected to take the test as scheduled.  It is the student’s responsibility to request and schedule any make up tests.

    NOTE: CLASS RULES SUBJECT TO CHANGE DEPENDENT ON SCHOOL RULES

     

    Woodcrest JHS has implemented the PBIS (Positive Behavior Support) program for student discipline. The PBIS program works to reward students that are making Positive Behavioral choices. Students are receiving instructions specific to behaviors in an effort to inform them of the expectations. We ask for your support as we continue to make Woodcrest JHS focused on high expectations for learning and behavior! By following the three basic principles, Be Responsible, Be Respectful, and Be Safe, students can easily avoid problems and be successful on our campus. Students are expected to demonstrate the appropriate behaviors at all times on campus, at school activities, and to and from school.

     

    Grading:

    Grading Scale

    90% - 100% = A

    80% - 89%   = B

    70% - 79%   = C

    60% - 69%   = D

      0% - 59%   = F

    Effective use of class time

     

    Classroom Assignments and homework  = 40%

     

    Tests = 60%

    As this is a high school course, students are required to have at least 70% at the end of the grading cycle to get high school credit for the class.

    Turning in Work:

    Students will turn in their work in class on the date that it is due.  All assignments will be posted in Teams but need to be done on paper.  WORK MUST BE SHOWN ON THE ASSIGNMENTS FOR CREDIT!

     

    Late Work: 

    Late work may be turned in until the end of the chapter for full credit.  Once the chapter is finished and we have taken the test, all missing work are recorded as “Zeros” (no credit).  Do not abuse this policy!!
