WORLD HISTORY CLASSROOM POLICIES 1st SEMESTER 2014- 2015 Mrs. Dujmovic DEAR PARENTS AND STUDENTS, Having clear expectations will help students get off to a great start. Students and parents need to know the policies and course curriculum. Please carefully read this handout and sign the bottom of the page. MATERIALS Text Book: World History: Patterns of Interaction, McDougal Littell Required Materials: Three-ring binder with 8 dividers and lined paper, pen, pencil, highlighter Optional Donations: 1 box of 12 colored pencils , 1 box Crayola broad tip markers, 1 box of tissues, Office Depot gift certificates for printer ink cartridges. NOTEBOOK A history binder is required for this course. The binder should have seven dividers, one for each unit, and will include most class assignments, notes and homework. You will turn in your notebook after each unit. ATTENDANCE POLICY Points will be taken off your participation grade for unexcused tardies or cuts. I reserve the right to give a tardy if you are not in the classroom and in your seat when the bell rings. If you are excessively tardy you will be put on an attendance contract or given detention. After five unexcused absences or seven tardies you may be dropped from the course. GRADES Grades are calculated out of total points. At the end of each semester there are approximately twelve hundred points. The final exam is approximately ten percent of your final grade. Students and parents can view grades on Aeries at http://aeries.lghs.net/parent/ Students must set up a user name and password with your house office. There is a link to Aeries on the school website at www.lghs.net. Grades are updated every two or three weeks. LATE WORK AND ABSENT WORK Late work will only be accepted one school day after the assignment is due. The assignment will be marked down ten percent. Stamped homework assignments can be turned in late, in the notebook for one-half credit. If you are absent come in before school or tutorial to get any missed work or notes. You have ONE WEEK from the day of your excused absence to make up any tests or quizzes. If your absence was unexcused I will not accept the work. If you are absent and the assignment was assigned before your absences, it is due the day you return. If it was assigned the day you were absent, you have three days (including the date of you absence) to turn in the assignment. CONTACT INFORMATION AND OFFICE HOURS My email address is [email protected]. The best way to contact me is through email. My phone number is (408) 354-2730 x 343. I will hold office hours every day during tutorial. STUDENT CONDUCT The goal for the year is to work together to make a safe, pleasant classroom environment.
