This course will cover subjects to assist students in becoming productive adults. Students will
participate in helpful life managing activities and modules to better understand the skills needed for
productive living. Each student will gain applicable knowledge on managing ones life.

Textbook (provided):
Managing Life Skills Glencoe & McGraw Education
This book will be used as a in class resource only. It may be checked out to complete make-up work
due to a legitimate absence. A non-returned book will result in a $50.00 debt slip sent home.

Grade Distribution:
Your final grade for the course will be reflective of positive participation, cooperation, assignments,
and assessments on a point system.

Classroom Expectations:
1. Be Respectful
2. Be Safe
3. Be Responsible
4. Participate
5. Be Creative

Policies:
1. Be on time for class

2. You have two weeks from the assigned date to turn in missing work.
Work will not be accepted after that date and grade will result in a 0. It is your responsibility
to check what you missed and turn it in in a timely manner.

3. Cell phones are not to be seen or heard or will be put in my desk.

4. You must bring all papers given throughout the semester to every class session. I will
dock points for leaving papers or not bringing them to class when checked.

5. Labs CAN NOT be made up.
If you miss a lab with an unexcused absence you will receive a 0 for that lab grade. If your
absence in Infinite Campus is excused you will receive an exemption for the grade.

6. Enjoy what we do in this class and be proud of your work! This class is supposed to be
educational while also interesting and fun. You will use things you learn in this class for the
rest of you life. I want you to get as much information as possible out of this class and have
fun while doing so.

Failure to follow expectations will negatively impact your grade
