Classroom Procedures

Language Arts 9
Mrs. Beer
Mr. Burke

Classroom Rules:
Show respect for me, for your peers, and for the classroom.
Be on time.
Bring all materials to class daily.
Have a positive attitude.
Attendance:
Attendance procedures will be followed as stated in the student handbook.
Homework and Assignment Policy:
For long range assignments, which we will be working on, an absence does not grant you an extension. If you miss a day, you
are still held to the same deadline. It is your responsibility to find out what you missed while you were out. I have made this very
easy for you by creating the Student Work section of the room. There you will find a sheet of paper outlining what was done
each day and all handouts which are located in the bins underneath. If you are going to be absent for a vacation or some other
reason that you know of ahead of time, you will have to make up your work when you return.
For daily assignments, if you are absent you have the same number of days missed to make up the work.
Organization:
Each of you will need to keep a folder with all of your work. Occasionally I make mistakes with grading and the only way to
correct any mistake is by showing me your paper with the grade on it. If you have thrown it away, you cannot do this!
Guest Teachers:
When I am not here, I expect you to be on your BEST behavior. The substitute teacher will be in charge in my absence. If a
substitute teacher reports you, upon my return, I will have a conference with you and decide on further disciplinary action.
Supplies:
Everyday you will be expected to bring a pen/pencil, paper, writers notebook, assigned reading, and a folder for your papers. I
do not supply pens/pencils. I have colored pencils, markers, glue, and some scissors that you may use as long as these items
get put away when you are finished. I also encourage everyone to bring in a box of Kleenex to contribute to the classroom
supply. This is not a requirement, but it would be appreciated since I cannot supply tissues to 150 kids for an entire year.
Grading:
I will be using the following grading scale to compute your grades: A=92.5-100, A-=89.5-92.4, B+=86.5-89.4, B=82.5-86.4, B=79.5-82.4, C+=76.5-79.4, C=72.5-76.4, C-=69.5-72.4, D+=66.5-69.4, D=62.5-66.4, D-=59.5-62.4, E=59.4-0
Each trimester grades will be calculated as follows: The trimester grade is worth 80%. The final exam is worth 20%.

Please have a parent/guardian review the above information and return the signature page to me by _____________________.
This will count as your first grade for the trimester.
