Expectations: Students are expected to come to class on time with the appropriate materials: the book(s) we are using, netbook, and notebook and a writing utensil. All formal academic papers should be the student’s original and ‘best’ work, and should be turned in on time. Papers should go through the drafting, review, revision, and editing processes. We will facilitate the writing process through our efforts in the classroom and through the use of the ELI Review software. Plagiarism will not be tolerated. Please document all sources. ===== Student Supplies:

Flash drive, highlighters, pencils, pens, paper, note cards, sticky notes, spiral notebook //Need a yellow highlighter and 4 other colors ...**donated tissue boxes are welcomed!!** // 4 folders or a binder (student choice) *School issued electronic device *Independent reading books through school resources, public, and home *Need donations of school appropriate magazines to be cut up in class ***PARENTS:** Looking for ways to support the classroom? **Donations of**: tape: both scotch and masking tape, tissues, paper towels, paper clips, white board cleaner: //All Welcomed! :)//

 * Attendance: **

Regular attendance is essential for promotion and success in your schoolwork. Participation in classroom activities, classroom discussions, and certain other interactions are all necessary ingredients of the learning process. Students shall be in attendance for 90% of scheduled classes of each course in order to earn credit in the course, if all course objectives have been met. If a student is present less than 90% of scheduled classes, the student will receive a grade of “N” (no credit) for the could. A student should have 90% attendance which is 53 days per term (7 absences).

Students with 8-11 absences shall be required to take the semester exam for the course and earn a grade of at least 78% (C+) to obtain the calculated grade for the course. If the student does not earn a grade of 78% on the final exam, a grade of “N” (no credit) will issued for the course. Students with 12 or more absences will receive an “N” (no credit) unless written verification of extenuating circumstances are submitted to the building principal and approved by the attendance committee.
 * Grading: **<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"> Final grade based on percentage of points earned: A+ (98-100); A (93-97); A- (90-92); B+ (88-89); B (83-87); B- (80-82); C+ (78-79); C (73-77); C- (70-72); D+ (68-69); D (63-67); D- (60-62); E (0-59)

Policy on Deadlines: Deadlines are to be adhered to and strictly observed.
===Unit tests are able to be retaken with the //qualifier of all classwork & homework being completed.// Practice assignments/homework will not be averaged into the final grade. These classroom activities and homework may show up on the grade book with a score, but will be for the purpose of formative assessment, to determine how prepared the learner is to take the tests. Exams will not have a retake option. So tests, projects and essays will be averaged to determine each student’s grade.===
