COURSE EXPECTATIONS
Attendance:
If you miss a class due to lateness, illness, or any other reason, it is your responsibility to find out what you missed either from me, our lovely classroom website, or a fellow classmate. Also, be sure to collect any handouts/worksheets needed. Chronic absences will be referred to administration.
Preparedness:
It is your responsibility to bring any necessary books, materials, etc., needed for the class.
Late Assignments:
In terms of late/missing tests/ assignments, the procedure to follow will be determined via the teacher and administration. If more time is needed for an assignment, please discuss it with me prior to the due date, do not leave it to the last minute.
Cell Phones/Mobile Devices:
Any of these devices are not permitted during instructional time. They must be placed in the Phone Lot at the front of the classroom. If found without permission, the first time it will be mine for class, second strike it will be mine for the day, third strike it goes to administration and parents will need to pick it up.
Food:
Food and drink is permitted in the class, provided you clean up your mess afterwards. If this becomes a problem, overall, then food and drink will be banned from the classroom. Serious!
Respect:
Listen, work, and speak with this notion in mind. A positive and welcoming learning environment is of utmost importance.
Plagiarism:
“The unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one’s own original work.” The bottom line: DO NOT COPY WORK THAT IS NOT YOURS. If you are unsure about what is acceptable and not acceptable, feel free to discuss with me. Any plagiarized work will result in an automatic zero, and parents/guardians will be notified.
3 Strikes:
The basic rule of thumb is as follows: the first offense, I will speak with you directly; the second offense will be a phone call home; and the third will result in an office referral. ‘Offenses’ include behavioural issues, inconsistent attendance/lates, missing assignments, etc. This rule can, at times, be subject to change, depending on certain circumstances.
Extra Help:
It will be your responsibility to use your tutorial time if you require extra help on an assignment, need to pick up work, etc. If I am not available, you may send an e-mail and/or make an appointment at an agreeable time.
Goals and Objectives
- To help you make well-informed, thoughtful decisions regarding your future as adults.
- To develop behaviours and attitudes that help students contribute to the community in a positive manner.
- Give you skills and knowledge to contribute to the well-being and respect of the self and others.
