***Substitute teacher clause: If a substitute teacher leaves a student's name for misbehavior, the student will receive an automatic after-school detention.

Homework and Missing Assignments

Homework:        

Homework will sometimes be given in Computer Class.  Homework will usually be vocabulary development or a study guide to prepare for a test. Any work requiring a computer will NOT be given as homework.

Absences:        

Due to the fact that most work is done in class, any days missed may require the student to make-up work in the morning.  Students have the same number of days absent to make up missed work (if they were absent for 2 days, they have 2 days to make up the work.) The computer room is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 7:30am-7:55am.  Passes are available from the teacher.  Students must have a pass to enter the school before 8:00am. Students may also get permission to come to the lab during advisory.

Missing Assignments:

If students choose not to complete assignments they will earn 0 points. If students choose to turn in assignments late they will earn reduced credit.

Tests and Grades

Tests:        

Tests are given at the end of each unit.  Students will receive a review sheet and be given review time during class.  All class assignments will help the students prepare for the unit test.

Grades:        

Grade for this class is based on a percentage of total points earned divided by the total number of points that have been assigned. Grades will be reported as A, B, C, D, E.

Class assignments - 70%

Participation/planner - 10%

Tests - 20%

If your child is having difficulty in this class, the teacher will write a note in his/her planner.  Please check you child’s planner frequently and feel free to leave a note in there for the teacher as well.
