Citizenship/Behavior Standards

Academic Dishonesty

If students are found guilty of academic dishonesty (cheating), the teacher shall collect the assignment, and mark a zero for the work. Academic dishonesty also includes the forging of a parent’s name on ANY form or assignment. As a consequence a “U” in citizenship will be assigned for that quarter grading period, and the parent will be notified of the event and the consequences.

Citizenship Grades

Citizenship grades will be based on the student’s ability to follow classroom rules and procedures. All students are expected to follow the classroom rules. Students should come to class prepared to learn with any assignment due that day. Food, drink, gum/candy, toys, stuffed animals, as well as grooming items (make-up, lotion, mirrors, etc.) are not allowed in the classroom.

O = Outstanding The student is always prepared for class, actively participates in activities and is a positive influence on other students.

S = Satisfactory The student is generally prepared for class, frequently participates in class and does not infringe on the rights of other students.

N = Needs Improvement The student isn’t as prepared as they should be for class, and needs to work on following school/classroom rules and procedures.

U = Unsatisfactory The student is frequently unprepared for class, fails to participate in activities, exhibits behavior that interferes with the learning of other students, and does not follow school and/or classroom rules and procedures. Forgery and/or cheating will result in an automatic “U”.

Grading Policy/Evaluation

Grading Scale

A student’s grade will be computed using a point system for each assignment.

Assignments may include: Tests and quizzes, projects, Class assignments, Homework/participation, Spelling/Vocabulary

Standards of Work

Participation is necessary to the academic success of every student; therefore, absenteeism will have a negative impact on the student’s grade.
Students are expected to come to class prepared and be active participants in all classroom activities.
Assignments turned in without a name will result in a loss of points, only if the assignment is retrieved and claimed (teacher procedures for this will vary) and handed back in with the name clearly written as part of a proper heading. Otherwise, the assignment will not receive credit.
Any assignment involving cheating or plagiarism will receive a zero and a dean’s referral.
Partially completed assignments will receive reduced points.

Class Procedures

Homework

Homework will be given Monday through Thursday. Homework will include reading each night and any unfinished classwork and assignments. In addition, there may be projects that are to be completed at home as homework.

Make-up Work:

Essentially, it is the student’s responsibility to get any missed work either prior to, or upon return of an absence. Due dates will be determined by the teacher at that time. Again, please refer to the student agenda for more detail.

Class Participation

Students are expected to sign into Zoom for their class period. They should be dressed and not eating. Students will contribute to class and small group discussions. Students will be expected to read at home to maintain and improve their overall reading comprehension and fluency.

*Cell phones should be turned off and out of sight. Students may not use cell phones on campus. Cell phones that ring in the classroom will be confiscated and turned in to the Office. This will be the case for any music player and or earphones as well.

Rules

Respect the rights of others and accept responsibility for your own behavior.
Be on time and prepared with all materials.
Participate in a polite and cooperative manner.
Follow all directions/procedures.
Do your best.

*Severe behavior will result in immediate removal from the classroom to the Office.

Sincerely,
