Classroom Expectations

Be Present: Both feet should be in the classroom before the bell rings for in class sessions. For Zoom sessions, plaese be ready to join the call at the designated time to avoid missing any instruction. Being present also includes participation in daily activities and discussions, as a speaker and as a listener.

Be Nice: All students will be polite and respectful to each other and to me. We will share personal opinions and perspectives in this class and should handle any conflicts with grace and maturity.

Be Prepared: Be sure to bring necessary materials, work, and an open mind each day when you walk through the door. We will be using technology to access Schoology in and out of class this year, so it is a good idea to have a device and use it appropritely. 

Classroom Policies

Attendance

Attendance will be taken in class and in Schoology when we are out of class

Absences

If you are absent, you are responsible for missed learning, quizzes, and tests. Students who are absent MUST check in Schoology for assignments for the day missed.

Tardiness

Students who arrive after the tardy bell must go to the house secretary for a tardy pass. No students will be admitted to the classroom after the tardy bell without a pass.

Supply List- It will be especially important for students to have their own supplies this year.

Required: Any type of folder or binder to keep track of papers, lined paper, black, blue, and red colored pens (for editing), highlighters

Requested: Pens, paper, markers, Kleenex, Germ-X, or Pencils (We have a class stash for students missing supplies)

Optional: glue stick, post-it notes for annotation, as well as your own copies of the novels and plays we will be reading this year so you can mark them up.

**I highly recommend students be comfortable with using Schoology and Google Docs and Slides for assignements.
