Also, there will be times when you will need to submit your work online. There will be times when I comment on your work and return it to you electronically and then you can make your corrections. This will be done through a screencast which I will explain later.


 * __Attendance/Tardy__**

Students are to be **__in their seats when the bell rings.__** Students who are late to class will follow the consequence steps (listed on front side of this paper). Make sure you arrive on time.

Absent students should check the “Class Notebooks” on the black shelving unit near my desk for papers and assignments from the day(s) they were absent. **__Students are responsible for any work (i.e. quizzes, tests, notes, assignments, etc) they miss.__**


 * __ TEXTBOOKS must be covered!!! __** You have 1 week to have it covered or you will be assigned a detention.
 * __Extra Credit__**

Your grade is a reflection of your mastery of the material. However, there may be extra credit points available throughout the semester on my blog. In addition, bonus points __may__ be available on tests and quizzes or they may be awarded for winning review games.

no student with incomplete assignments will be granted the opportunity for extra credit assignments.


 * __Extra Help__**

Since there is no FLEX period in the school day, students who need extra help need to schedule a time to see me after school. (I am **__not available__** before school.) **Do not hesitate to ask for help!** Many times a quick review session, one-on-one with the teacher, will help to clarify things learned in class and keep you on track to achieve the grade you want in this class.
