Discipline is expected in the classroom. The learning process cannot take place in an atmosphere that is not conducive to learning. The following disciplinary actions will be taken for disruptive behavior:

1st time: Last person to leave the class

2nd time: 15 minute morning detention in my room

3rd time: 30 minute morning detention (or two 15 minute) and parent phone call

4th time: Office referral

*Major discipline problems will result in an automatic office referral.

Make-up Work:
When you are absent, it is your responsibility to get your make-up work. Make-up work notes/handouts will be placed in the make-up work file by the printer or available as a download on the assignments site. The make up work can be found on the Notes and Assignments site for each class. It will be your responsibility to check this site for the assignments that you missed while you were out.

You will be given one class meeting day to complete work for each class day you were absent. BIM is a lab class, therefore, work must be made up during tutorials.
 
If you missed a test, it will be your responsibility to make an appointment with me to make up your test. Tests cannot be made up during the class period. Your appointment must be no later than one week after the test is given. If the test is not made up within the one week time period, you will receive a grade of zero on the test.

Late Work: Short-term and long-term assignments turned in one day late will result in a grade no higher than 75; two to five days late will result in a grade no higher than 70; and over five days late will result in a grade of zero. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS.

Tutorial Times:

Monday-Friday 7:30-8:25

Major grades will comprise 50% of your six weeks grade. Major grades include tests, major projects, ePortfolio (BIM), and folder (BIM). Daily grades will comprise the other 50% of your grade. Daily grades will include daily assignments, warm-ups, quizzes, and classroom participation.

Academic Ethics:

You are expected to complete your own assignments. If cheating occurs, all parties involved will be denied credit for the assignment/test, and you will not have an opportunity to make up the work.
