Our Classroom Philosophy:

bullet ¬All students can learn
bullet ¬Not all students learn the same way
bullet ¬Success of the student depends on the partnerships formed between the students, their parents and the school

Classroom Etiquette

bullet ¬Respect fellow students, the teacher, and most importantly yourself
bullet ¬Always put forth your best effort 
bullet Do not expect anything less than excellence from yourself.  That does not mean perfection.  No one is perfect.  It means giving 100% of yourself in all that you do.

Grades

bullet ¬Tests (50-100 points) – worth about 25%
bullet ¬Quizzes (15-35 points) – worth about 30%
bullet ¬Labs/In class activities - (10-40 points) worth about 25%
bullet ¬Warm-up (5 points per week) - worth about 10%
bullet ¬Homework/Class Participation (50 points) – worth about 10%
 

Notebook Organization

bullet ¬This year we will be using an interactive notebook.  All students will be using a spiral notebook.  Input (information I give them) will be written on the right side.  Output (student processing) will be on the left side.  Students are responsible for keeping their notebooks neat, organized, and easy to follow

 

Extra Help
bullet ¬If a student needs extra help he or she must make every effort to get the help.  The student can call a friend, ask a parent and of course come to me for help.
bullet ¬I am available for tutoring during resource, at lunch, and before or after school.  Students should make arrangements in advance if possible.  There is no late bus this year so if a student needs to stay after school, he or she must get a ride home.
bullet ¬I am also available to tutor by phone in the evening or on weekends. The student need only to ask me to call.
