In my class –

class.

to the office.
◦ Note the policy during tests on an upcoming slide.

You must have the school’s technology usage
form signed.

number.
Do not print without permission.
Be on-task; do not “shop” or play games without
permission.
Always carry equipment carefully.
Shut down completely before closing the
machine.
Plug the machine back in when returned to the
cart.
1st time: Warning or conference with student
2nd time: Lunch or after-school detention (at

3rd time: Discussion with parent or guardian
4th time: Discipline referral

Class preparedness (CP): Points will be earned
for either homework completion or class
preparedness. These points will only be
awarded, never taken away, thus they will only
add to a student’s average. CP points cannot be
made up. Obviously, if a student has an absence
or tardy, points cannot be awarded, so good
attendance is essential.
For homework that is collected and graded, I
will accept late work up to 5 school days late.
The assignment will lose 10% per day in
credit. After 5 school days, no credit can be
received.

All students are expected to keep an orderly
notebook and to take notes.
◦ Notes may be collected at any time for a grade.
◦ Notebook checks will occur at least once a
quarter but possibly more often.

Daily objectives will be on the P-board; get
prepared and ready to begin as soon as
attendance is finished.
1. Your name, the date, &
assignment description
written on them
2. Be legible
3. Turned in on the due date
& when requested in class
 Some
assignments may be
requested turned into Drive.
 All students will receive a BVLS
email address.
 I will use this address to
communicate with you.







Long-term: more than five school days for
completion.
Must be requested at least 2 days before the original
due date to receive credit.
Requests will not be granted on the due date; the
grade at that point is a zero.
You may request only 1 extension per quarter.
You cannot request extensions on daily homework
that is due the day after it is assigned.
You must submit the assignment within 5 days
(counting Sat/Sun) of the original due date. I won't
remind you; this is your responsibility.
You must request the extension in person or via
email so that I can record it.

Definitions:
◦ Cheating is the giving, receiving or
taking without consent answers on
any assignment.
◦ Plagiarism is claiming another's
intellectual property (writing,
projects, etc.) as your own without
giving credit to the original creator.
 1st
offense: receive a zero; plus,
parents/guardians and
administration will be notified.
 2nd offense: results in failure of
the current quarter.
 3rd offense: results in failure of
the semester.

*During tests:
◦ Turn your cell phone off or put it on
silent
◦ Place it face down on the corner of
your desk
◦ If you choose not to do this and the
phone rings or your hands are below
the desk, you will receive a zero.
◦ Use the tri-fold “blinds”
1. Homework is to be done at home or in study
hall (do not complete homework for another
teacher during this class or mine in someone
else's).
2. Most research, typing, etc. will need to be done
outside of class time.
3. Students will not be permitted to leave class to
finish or print assignments. Come to class with
everything you need or it is late.

Bring blue slips and homework to me.
I will give you any missing handouts.
Check the homework board for missed
assignments. These will also be posted on my
webpage.
In accordance with the BVHS handbook, you
have one day for each day absent to submit
make-up work. However, long term projects are
due on the due date despite absences. If you
are absent on the due date, email the
assignment to me by 3 p.m. on the due date
and bring a printed copy when you return.
If you are in the building but not class, put
assignments in the folder outside my door by 3
p.m.

All submitted make-up work (received
within the policy) will receive credit (even if
the absence is unexcused).
Missed tests must be made up within two
days of your return.
Missed tests receive credit only if your
absence is excused. Show me a blue slip!
See me to schedule make-up tests.
Missed make-up tests will receive a zero.

All forms must be given to me before the
lesson begins; I'll sign them and return
them before class ends.
Homework is due when you return.
Check my webpage for due dates if you are
uncertain.
Missed tests should be scheduled before
you leave and are to be taken the day you
return.
NO tests can be taken in advance.

I will grade as quickly as possible but there will,
inevitably, be delays…please be patient.
If you check PowerSchool© and see an
assignment listed but no grade, it means I
haven't grade it yet.
I will frequently leave comments about scores;
please read them.
Keep all returned papers; I am human, so I do
make mistakes. If you find an error, bring me the
graded paper and I will correct it. I will not make
a change without seeing the graded work.

◦ Graded homework may be submitted
up to 5 school days late; however,
credit will be lost (10% per day).
Therefore, if 5 days late and perfect,
student only receives 50% credit.
◦ You must complete the “Missing Work
Log”
AP Literature – late work is not accepted

You may request a retest for any test except a "pop
quiz".
Here's the catch: you must provide evidence of your
efforts to improve.
You will need to submit a "Request to Retest"
(completely filled out and with the requested
materials).
You must correct the original test.
You have two days to take the retest (scheduled like a
make-up test).
The retest will have the same concepts and format
but will not be identical to the original test.
I will not "beg" you to take a retest…this is completely
your responsibility.



Discussion regarding grades needs to be
conducted before or after school not during class
time. Schedule an appointment during my office
hours.
Keep all your returned papers. If I have recorded
a grade incorrectly, you need to show me the
paper before I’ll correct the grade book.
Grades (except for AP Lit) will be recorded as
points earned over points possible.
Note: some tests, projects, papers may be
weighted.
