Classroom/Remote Expectations – Students should remain on camera throughout the class period. If students have difficulty with connection or their computers, it is their responsibility to inform their teacher and complete a google form asking for help from the technology specialist at the school. – Students should remain muted, unless participating or asking a questions to minimize any additional feedback. – Students are expected to be on time. They will be marked tardy if they join the class late or leave the class early. Again, it is the student’s responsibility to inform the teach of anything preventing them from logging in to the meeting. – Students are expected to submit all assignments in a timely manner.

Grading • Our grading system is the same for every class. • Homework is worth 5% • Classwork is worth 35% • Tests, essays, quizzes, and all other formal and informal assessments are worth 60%. • This grading system is the same throughout the high school.

Grading (continued) Notebook Grade - Students are assigned a notebook each week that the teacher will review with class participation. At the end of the week, they will submit, parts of the notebook for a large classwork/participation grade. Classwork Assignments - Students are provide time in class to complete these assignments. If they do not complete it in class, then they have until 11: 59 PM that night to submit. Quizzes and Assessments - Due to remote learning, I will only be assigning short quizzes that students should be able to complete in class. However, there may be times that students need to complete on their own as well.

Resources • Guidance Department – Scheduling as well as other concerns. • Extra Help: – I can be available for extra help after school if a student informs me and we can agree on a specific date/time to meet.
