Classwork, Projects, Journals, Participation – 50%

  • 3-ring binder with paper, or notebook
  • pencil / pen
  • fully-charged chromebook and charger
(** you will have occasional "random notebook checks" to ensure you are prepared for class, which count as a daily grade)


ABSENCES / TARDIES:

You will have three (3) days after an excused absence to complete work.  After that period anything missing will be counted as a zero.  Excessive unexcused tardies to class will result in an office referral.  Professional companies do not tolerate excessive tardies or absences, so learn to prepare accordingly now. 

Remember it is YOUR responsibility to find out what assignments were missed.  I will not follow you around, eagerly searching for your missing make-up work!
