Every problem must be attempted to receive full credit. 3. Chapter Assignment Logs must be turned in before taking each chapter test. All assignments must be labeled, completed, and corrected.

Behavior: I expect you to be in your seat, in dress code, working on the Warm-Up, homework ready to be checked, and with all materials on hand when the bell rings. Dont expect to be able to leave the classroom to get supplies or assignments from your locker! I also expect you to act responsibly, to be respectful of each other and me, and to follow the Honor Code. There will be consequences (rewards or referrals) for behavior. Absences: Assignments will be written on the board daily and posted on the Google Calendar. If you have a planned absence, Ill be glad to let you know what work youll be missing before you leave. The work will be due the day you return. If your absence is not planned (illness, etc.), please check the Google Calendar or call a trustworthy classmate for any assignments. Work not shown to me within one day for each day absent will not be accepted. This is your responsibility. I didnt know is not an excuse. I will not ask for missing work. Check with me before or after class if you are unsure about missed work. If you miss school the day before the test, you are still expected to take the test the day you return to school. Any quizzes or tests missed due to an absence will need to be taken the day you return. See the Handbook for rules on Attendance Policy and make-up work. Extra Help: Extra Help is available upon request during Office Hours (3:10-3:40) Monday-Thursday afternoons. It is helpful for you to have specific questions or topics that you would like for me to help you with. My Promises: I promise to do my best to help you experience success in all aspects of this course. Because I know you have worked hard to prepare for tests and quizzes, I will return them as soon as possible. I will strive to make this a successful year of learning!
