Classroom Rules Find your seat immediately and start beginning

work. Bring all materials to class (book, pencil, paper,

binder, homework.) Participate in class by listening, asking questions,

and working on assignments. HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE ALWAYS. No one is permitted to leave the class the first or

last 10 minutes of class. Hallway passes will be allowed at other times only on an emergency basis.

Required Materials: Loose-leaf paper Pencils & Ink pens Folder Students may want to purchase some art

supplies for their own use in class projects. Basic supplies will be available to share in class.

Tardy PolicyIf you are not in your seat and working when the tardy bell rings then you will be marked tardy in IC according

to PCHS policy.

Have you been ABSENT?Ask for clarification from a neighbor and check with me at an APPROPRIATE time regarding the make-up of

Target Checks or missed assessments.

Cell PhonesCell phones should not be out during class time (that is the time you walk in Ms. Roberts’ room). Cell phones

should not be seen or heard unless Ms. Roberts INSTRUCTS you to do so for instructional purposes.

GRADING POLICYIn an attempt to improve student achievement and to assign grades that truly reflect a student’s achievement I have adopted a standards based approach to grading.

A typical unit for class will have 10 - 20 learning targets (these are the “ideas” you are expected to learn). After a lesson and activities have been completed related to a target there will be a practice assignment (or perhaps 2 practice assignments). You will be responsible for checking your work during class time (usually at the beginning, or through-out the class). I will offer plenty of opportunities for questions and clarification. Then, a target check will be given. These are like mini-quizzes that only cover that target (usually 4-6 questions). These are graded on a 0 – 4 grading scale where:

4 = Excpetional3 = Meets Standard

2 = Approaches Standard1 = Beginning Standard

0 = No Attempt

After a target check is returned you are encouraged to ask questions, seek additional help, and additional instruction will be provided if you do not receive at least a 3. You then have the opportunity to retake the target.

Each exam is divided into learning targets and the exam score is broken down and reported as learning targets. This will be explained further in the weeks ahead.

It is important to note that your grade is simply calculated based on points and each grade that you will receive in Infinite Campus is worth 4 points. The grades are averaged based on points.
