Classroom Expectations--Mrs. Applebee’s English III

1.    Bring your notebook, agenda book, textbooks, and a writing utensil to class every day. You may borrow from your
       neighbor or from me, but you will not be allowed to go to your locker.
2.    Treat others as you would have them treat you.  Show respect for others in your choice of language or actions.
3.    Everyone’s ideas will be respected in this class.  There is no such thing as a dumb question or idea.  I want you to learn
       this. If you have a question, suggestion, or idea related to class discussion, please raise your hand!
4.    Reasonable order should begin at the door; class begins at the bell.  Be in your seats when the bell rings.
5.    If you miss class because of an excused absence, you will have an equal amount of time in which to make up any missed
       work.  Any assignments that were due on days you were absent will be due the CLASS PERIOD you return.  All missed
       tests or quizzes must be taken at a time convenient to both you and me.
6.    If you were unexcused from a class period, no credit will be given for missed assignments, nor is extra time allotted to
       complete new ones.  If you skip class, it is up to you to find out what’s due for the next period and GET IT DONE!
7.    Because a portion of your grades will come from in-class activities, it is important that you check with me after an absence,
       so that you can make up any assignments completed during class.
8.    Late Work:     End of the day/Next morning = 3/4 credit
                                             One class period = ½ credit
                                            Two class periods = 1/4 credit
                                           Three class periods = 0 (better than missing)
9.   I am available during homeroom in room 205 and am ALWAYS willing to help.  I am usually here before school by about
     7:30 am and after school until approx. 3:00 pm.  From mid-October to mid-February I have speech team practices before
     and after school and may not be easily available for help.
10. The grading scale for this class is as follows:                   93-100 = A
                                                                                             85-92 = B
Final average scores with tenths of .5 or above will                 77-84 = C
be rounded to the next whole number.  Class participation      70-76 = D
can also help a grade on the border.                                          ↓ 69 = F
