MAKE-UP WORK: Students are allotted 2 days per school day missed to make up any missed assignments. If students know of a future absence, it is their responsibility to get their work before leaving. I am generally very understanding IF you communicate with me.
RETAKES: Occasionally, I will offer quiz or test retakes. Retakes must be earned. In order to earn a retake, I will state the specific requirements for each particular quiz or test, but generally this includes scheduling one or more meetings with me and/or completing a review guide.
Any late work will only receive half credit up until the chapter test. After that, no credit will be awarded for late assignments for that chapter.

2. STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO:
Come prepared to class with necessary materials
Be prepared to answer questions. My philosophy is that everyone is an “equal opportunity respondent”!
Pay attention and take notes
Get extra help if you don’t understand something
Check the class website frequently for assignments, study materials, and announcements
Complete assignments on time
Communicate promptly to Ms. Vockrodt about any known absences
Make up work in a timely fashion
All students are expected to follow the Riggs student handbook rules and guidelines.
No food or drinks other than water.
Use the bathroom before class.
Ask permission to leave the room.
You are young adults; therefore, I will treat you accordingly…unless I can’t.
WORK HARD
MAKE MISTAKES
OWN YOUR EDUCATION
Textbook
Pencil, Pen & Notebook
Computer
Calculator (Optional)
Binder or Folder
You will have homework almost every day.
The goal of homework is to practice in order to make sure you know the material.
Homework is PRACTICE, so ask questions, work together, and get help if you need it!
I will not formally grade all homework. Some homework will be graded, some will be used for discussion, and some I will check only for understanding and/or completion. I will not announce when I will do each, so it is always in your best interest to complete each assignment and get help when needed!
Bellringers are included in your homework grade and are used to check for understanding.
All cell phones must be placed in the caddy at the beginning of class or kept on silent in your bag at all times. Any violation will result in confiscation and your phone will be turned in to the office. Anyone caught using a cell phone or who has a cell phone go off during a quiz or test will automatically receive a zero.
