B= Proficient (80%-89%)
C= Basic (70%-79%)
D= Below Basic (60%-69%)
F= Far Below Basic (0%-59%)

 Students grades will be standards based and comprised of the following: classwork, homework, tests, quizzes, projects and essays. Any student who fails to achieve a score of "Basic" or higher on a test may re-take the test  a second time to improve their understanding of the material. The highest score they may be credited with will be a 79%. 

Homework:

Students are expected to copy down assignments in their Eagle Organizer each day. Students are expected to complete and turn in assignments on time. Late assignments will result in a lower grade. Late work will only be accepted for credit during the 5-week grading period it was assigned. Homework/classwork may also be found on this website by choosing the class tab.

1. Students are to be in their assigned seats ready to work when the bell rings.

2. Electrical equipment, food, drink (bottled water ok) and gum are never allowed in the classroom.

3. Respect for the teacher and fellow students is the only acceptable practice in this classroom. I will never tolerate any kind of personal attacks regardless of the intent.

4. Cheating or copying from another student will result in a failing grade on the assignment. 

5. Plagiarism will result in a failing grade on the assignment.

6. I want each and everyone of my students to succeed, I will always come to class prepared and ready to teach, I ask that each student come to class prepared to learn.
