Classroom Expectations and Behavior

Remediation: Students are expected to keep up with the pace of the class by putting forth their best effort on each assignment and staying on task. Struggling students may arrange after school tutorial with the teacher. (See listed tutorial days and hours.) Academic Honesty: Cheating of any kind will not be tolerated. Receiving or giving unlawful information to complete an assignment is cheating. Students who copy anothers work OR allows their work to be copied will not receive credit or be given an opportunity to make-up the assignment and may be referred to administration. Passes: Students are encouraged to use the transitional time between classes for restroom breaks instead of socializing. Students will be given three (3) passes to use for the entire nine (9) week session. Re-Do Policy: Students will have an opportunity to redo any quarterly work that is graded as a D (69) or below. If a student chooses to take advantage of the redo policy, it must be re-submitted within one (1) week of the returned graded assignment. (This policy does not apply to class work that must be submitted during my absence when a substitute is present.) Office Procedures/Employability Skills: Employability skills are those traits that are looked upon favorably by an employer: positive attitude, teamwork, good work habits, etc. The Business Technology program will help you develop these traits so that you will be better prepared for high school, college and/or a career. Therefore, a percentage of your grade will be based on productivity/employability skills. Each week you have the opportunity to receive 20 points.
