Makeup Work
Check the White Board and Class Calendar for
what the class did while you were gone.
Pick up missed assignments in the Crate under the
date that you missed class.
Do not come in and demand your make-up work
right before class if you have not checked in your
folder and the class notebook. Getting assignment
from Ms. Rampey personally will require a trip in
before or after school.
If you need assistance with your Make-UP work,
please come in before or after school.
MAKE UP WORK – Cont’
 You have the same number of days to make up
missed assignments for an excused absence as
days your were absent unless it is an assignment
that was previously assigned. Any previously
assigned homework, projects, or test will be due
on the day you return to class.
• Turn makeup work into the Class
TRAY
– PLEASE LABEL THE ASSIGNMENTS AS MAKEUP
–other wise they will be considered LATE.
– REMEMBER MAKE-UP WORK is YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY not Ms. Rampey’s.
Unexcused Absence

absence will receive no more than
59% on schoolwork the day(s)
he/she is absent.

projects!!!
LATE WORK

considered late unless the student was absent.

the paper as LATE and turned in to the classes IN
FOLDER.
 Late work will be accepted until the end of school
the following school day with a 10% grade
deduction.
 Any late work after that point will require special
arrangements made between Ms. Rampey, the
Student and a Parent.
Extra Credit

extra credit points. It is a chance to
improve your grade that you have worked
hard on. Not a chance to make up for your

Classroom discussion
and lectures
• During class discussions or lectures,
students should be quiet and pay attention
unless they have been called on to answer
a question or give information.

lectures will be dealt with through
disciplinary measures.

Rules
Why we have Rules
• In order to guarantee each
student an appropriate learning
environment, I will insist on
compliance with the following
rules or the stated
consequences will follow…
Rule #1
Prepared – Students will
arrive in class on time
with required materials
and be sitting in their
assigned seats when the
tardy bell rings.
Rule # 2
Respect – Students will not
be rude or disrespectful to
other students or the teacher
at any time. Students will
interact with students and Ms.
Rampey during class activities
in appropriate ways raising
their hand when necessary in
order to not disrupt the class.
Rule # 3
Reactive – Students will
participate in a positive
and orderly manner; there
will be no sleeping, writing
notes, applying make-up, or
consuming of food or
beverages.
Rule # 4
• Responsible – Students
will be responsible for
completing all class work,
keeping their area clean
and will treat property
and others in a respectful
way.
Rule #5
“Never, ever, ever, ever,
ever, ever give up, never
give up, never give up, never
give up.”
-Winston Churchill
You are not allowed to give up in
this class. Once you give up you
have forfeited your ability to
pass this class.
Discipline
• Discipline will be given in the following manner.
– First offense – Student will be warned.
– Second offense – Student will be assigned DHall and parent will be notified.
– Third offense – Student will be sent to his or her
principal.
** Immediate dismissal from class with a zero for
the day’s class work may occur at the teachers
discretion when student disruption is threatening
the learning environment of other students.
Classroom
Structure
• Guidelines for
each aspect
of the
classroom
AGENDA… ACTIVITY… HOMEWORK… GROUP WORK…
NOTEBOOK… TEST… PROJECTS…
Agenda
• Detailed activities are posted
daily, and a long – term calendar is
also posted. These will be altered
as needed. Students are
encouraged to copy down daily
schedules in their agendas each
day at the beginning of the hour.
Activity
Classroom activities correspond with
the information provided in the
course textbook and curriculum.
Activities encourage creativity,
cooperation, and problem solving
skills. Additional activities may be
research projects, creative writing,
art projects, and other relevant
assignments.
Group work
• Many classroom activities
will be performed in
cooperative groups where
each member is assigned
to perform a specific role
required by the activity.
Homework
• Homework will be required in order
to move through the course
material at a reasonable pace.
Homework will be assigned on a
regular basis and will be expected
on the due date. I have high
expectations for all of my students
and expect all to be succesful.
Bell Work
• On most days students will have an assignment
to complete at the beginning of class. You are
expected to be working on the assignment by
the time the bell rings.
– Look at the daily agenda and find out if you
have a beginning assignment. The assignment
will be on the board. Often the assignment
will lead into what we are doing in class for
the day.
– Bell Work should be completed on a
sticky note and added to that days
homework page in your spiral.
Plagiarism
• Every student must do their own work
on all assignments. Cheating of any kind
will receive a zero and school
disciplinary action as well as contact of
your parent. Plagiarism includes copying
from a book, notes, encyclopedia, the
internet, magazines, newspapers, or
another person.
You must do your own work!!
