Mrs. Delancy's Classroom Rules and Expectations

Attendance Policy:

  1. You are only permitted to have two unexcused tardies per quarter.

  2. Unexcused tardies count as the following:

    1. Not being in your seat when the tardy bell rings.

    2. Not having materials needed for class. (Textbook, binder, writing utensil, homework)

    3. Using your agenda to leave the classroom for any reason.

  3. The third, fourth, etc., unexcused tardy are each a detention held in my classroom.

Homework:

  1. Homework will be assigned on a regular basis and does count into your grade. The whole assignment must be completed to count as a complete assignment.

  2. Each homework assignment is due at the beginning of class. I will not accept it after i have collected the assignment or been around to check that the assignment is complete.

  3. If you are absent, your homework is due the day you return, even if it is not a day we have class. Also, it is your responsibility to check to see if any homework was assigned the day you missed class.

  4. Late assignments are only accepted the day after they are due (the day class does not meet by 7:25 a.m.). The late assignment will automatically drop one number grade. After the one-day late, absolutely NO assignments will be accepted!

Absent Policy:

  1. If you are absent, it is your responsibility to see me for the work you missed BEFORE our next class. I will not come and find you. If you do not see me for your assignment, you will not get credit for the assignment.

  2. If you miss a test you must make it up before or after school. Tests cannot and will not be made up during class time. You must make up the test the first day you return to school.

Cheating:

  1. Cheating will NOT be tolerated. Cheating is classified as copying someone's work on individual homework assignments, quizzes, tests or plagiarizing. Anyone caught cheating will receive a 0% for that particular assignment, a double detention, and your parents will be notified.

Grading Scale:

  1. I use the point system to grade. Homework assignments are weighted less than quizzes, tests and papers.

  2. The points will than be converted to a percentage that corresponds with the school's 6.0 grading scale.

Miscellaneous:

  1. Do not touch anything that does not belong to you.

  2. Respect all people in the classroom, including other students, visitors, and substitutes.

  3. If you disrespect a substitute, you will receive a double detention from me when I return, plus you will still be responsible for any punishment given during my absence.

  4. Have a positive attitude.

  5. Feel free to see me at any time for anything you do not understand or need clarified.

  6. Only five extra credit points are possible per semester. These points will be offered at my discretion.
