will have about 10-15 minutes of homework Monday-Thursday. Homework is checked the next day for

100%.

Tests/Assessments: Students will have a graded assessment EACH WEEK. Skills will be tested
throughout the school year.

satisfactory grades.

Learning Environment Expectations:

Listen to instructions.
Enter and exit prepared.
Always try our best.
Respect ourselves and others.
No Excuses.

These expectations for the classroom will be in conjunction with the school-wide PBIS behavior
expectation plan, and we will follow the protocol set forth in the Julius Patrick Handbook and the
Rapides Parish Handbook.

Make-up Policy: Students will have an opportunity to make up missed work. Work that is missed
will be recorded in the grade book as a 0 and will be changed when the student completes the work.
After an absence, the student will have ONE WEEK from the day he/she returns to complete and turn
in work. If the work is not completed the 0 will stay in the gradebook.
