Attendance Please make every effort to be here every day. Most assignments are done in class and are therefore difficult to make up.

Notebooks You will need a 1 ½ inch 3 ring binder in which you will keep all assignments and hand outs. I will collect and grade notebooks once every 6 weeks. Papers MUST be in the order that I give you.

Planners You will need to keep a student planner for this class. This will help you learn how to be more organized as a student and will help you with time management The planner that is provided by the school is preferable. I will collect and grade planners every Friday, they are worth 10 point per week.

Make Up Work YOU are responsible for everything you missed while you were absent. Assignments can be found on my website http://bearclawcafe.pbworks.com You have two days for every day you were absent to make up work.

Classroom Management A folder with your name on it is located near the sink in room S-209. This is where all graded papers are handed back. Check your folder at least once a week. Put all papers from folder into your notebook. DO NOT TURN PAPERS INTO YOUR FOLDERS!

Absences and Tardies If you are tardy, sit down and be quiet, you may ask questions at the end of the period. Three unexcused tardies will result in detention (this is a school policy) Please make every effort to be on time. Absences will be handled according to the school handbook.

Inappropriate Language is offensive. Please refrain from using it!!!

Electronic Devices Electronic devices are not allowed in the classroom at any time!!!!!! This includes cell phones, CD players, personal organizers, game calculators, etc. If I catch you with a device, it will be taken from you and given back at the end of the day. After the third time it will be given to your AP. If you are using any of the devices to cheat-you will be given an F, your parents will be called, and you will be sent to your AP.
