Classroom Procedure
Every day when you enter class you are expected to take out your notebook and begin answering the prompt written on the Smartboard unless an alternate Do-Now assignment is provided. You will be given approximately five to ten minutes to complete your response/Do-now. During this time, Ms. Winberg will take attendance and check to see you have completed your response/Do-Now. After time is up, class will begin. Before you leave, you are expected to return the room to the condition it was in when you entered class (return desks to their original places, put away work, clean trash, etc.) Make sure all of your work is turned in before you leave class. Hand all your work DIRECTLY to Ms. Winberg (DO NOT LEAVE IT ON HER DESK!!!) Graded work will be placed into your class “OUT” and you may take it at your leisure.
Lateness
You are expected to arrive to class on time every day. You will have 20 pts. deducted from your participation grade for each day you are late.
Make-Up Work/Late Work
If you are absent from class it is YOUR responsibility to come to Ms. Winberg to get your make-up work. You will have exactly one week from the day of your absence to complete make-up work. Any late work (excluding work missed due to an absence) will be assessed -5 pts. for each day late.
Hallpasses
Hallpasses may be issued on a case-by-case basis. Do not ask for a hall pass unless you really need one. Each student will be allowed ONE pass per week (use it wisely!) If you do not use a hallpass for an entire week, you will be awarded 5 pts. Extra Credit.
After-School Help
If you need extra help with the work we are completing in class or have an issue you want to discuss with Ms. Winberg, let her know which afternoon you would like to come after school to speak with her. If you are not here by , Ms. Winberg might not be here, either.
On-line
Your grades will be available for you to view online using the StudentNet system on the school district’s website. The agenda for each day’s class will be available on the class website.
