Late Assignments



All homework, vocabulary, and summative
project assignments are given at least one
week in advance.
For this reason, homework will only
receive 50% the day after it was due, and
not accepted after that, except in case of
absence.
You can monitor homework completion
through our parent and student gradebook
application.
Study Sessions



I offer a voluntary study session during
lunch the day before the test.
Students can come to the study session
with their study guides and any questions
that they may have to help them feel
more prepared for the test.
I also offer tutoring on Wednesdays for
any students who would like help.
Goal Setting Contract



Students are asked to fill out a
learning contract each trimester in
order to encourage goal setting and
personal responsibility.
Students choose 3 goals to strive to
achieve prior to the end of each
trimester.
They also choose what their reward
will be if they reach all 3 goals.
Discipline Policy


Steps:
1. Students will receive a verbal warning
2. Students will be asked to step outside and
regain their ability to behave
3. Students will receive a school detention
4. Students will receive a teacher detention and
or call home
5. Referral is sent to the office, a call will be
made home, and student meets with Principal
Vice Principal
Steps are cumulative to a point
