11. In the event of an absent, it is your responsibility to find out what you missed and you will have 3 days to make up the work including quizzes and tests.  Please make arrangement with your teachers for a make up time when you return.  Check the website, if possible, to see what we are doing when you are absent.

12. All projects and homework should be completed on time.  Points will be deducted for late work especially when more than 1 week has been given for the assignment.

13. Only Language Arts materials or a novel that you are reading should be on your desk in my class.  Other assignments from other classes will be collected and not returned.

14. Before leaving my classroom, clean up around your desk and take all personal items with you to avoid having to return and interrupt the next class.

**Homework will be given for practice.  You will need to review notes or reread some literature assignments before testing. Please hi-light all answers to all completely written sentences.  Answers only will not be accepted.  We will have homework on Wed. from time to time.  Most tests will fall on Fri.

Extra help can be received from me from 7:20-7:45 daily.  Please let me know in advance if possible.  Make up tests will need to be completed after school.

Note:  There is no talking during transitions to classes, lunch, or MAPS.  Line up quickly and silently.  Keep the line together and go as quickly as possible.  Emergency Drills will be conducted from time to time.  There will be no talking during these.  Just do as you are told.

Do not bring food to the classroom from lunch to eat.  Please NO GUM!

****If you cannot treat others with respect, or if your actions cause a problem, you will be asked to solve the problem.

If you do not choose to solve the problem, appropriate consequences will be imposed.  One will be to sign the conduct book in order to document the problem.

The conduct book will determine your grade.  If you sign the book or have 3 infractions you will be given detention after school for 1 hour.  Parents will be called.  It is your responsibility to arrange a ride home at 4:15.  If you do not stay, the administration will assign ISS.  If you are given OSS you will receive a U in conduct.  All make up work must be turned in upon your return to school and parents will have to come up to have a readmit conference with the Administration.

Parents, thank you for your help with these matters.  Please sign below and return to the teacher before Aug. 24th.  I am still waiting on a few Clinic cards, book forms, and book damage sheets.  Please turn in quickly.
