Attendance/Tardy Policy
•    It is important for you to be in class everyday and on time with your materials
•    You are considered tardy if you are not in your seat by the time the tardy bell rings
•    Participation points are given daily. If you have an unexcused absence or tardy(no excuses for tardies), you will lose some or all of these points.
•    If you have an excused absence it is your responsibility to get in touch with the teacher to make up what you missed within one week of your absence, however, some work cannot be made up.
•    See your student handbook for more information on the attendance policy.

Hall Passes
•    Hall Passes are issued at the teacher's discretion (Official Franklin Hall Pass only)
•    Issued only after the first 15 minutes of class/not issued the last 15 minutes of class
•    Student fills out the pass, completely, and I will sign



Grading
All students will be on a web-based grading program: www.gradebookwizard.com
To log in use your full first name and your full last name, all lower case, as one word.
Your password is your student id number.
Freshmen:
    80% classwork/homework(completed assignments and quality work)
    20% participation(classroom participation, attendance/tardies)

Late work policy

It is important that you are in class and keeping up with the work. If you have had an excused absence (with a note), you need to come and see me at lunch or after school to get the work you missed. You may also want to email me. You have one week from the date you were absent to contact me.

In general, there will be a due date for all assignments. If you miss the due date, you may turn it in late for a 15% penalty for up to one week from the due date. I will take some assignments after this period, but you must come in and talk to me and make arrangements. This is not for all assignments. Assignments that require class participation and time sensitive assignments (novel questions, for example) cannot be made up.

VERY  IMPORTANT!
YOU WILL NEED TO BE ABLE TO MEET CERTAIN EXIT CRITERIA BY THE END OF EACH SEMESTER BEYOND YOUR PASSING GRADE. I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHAT THESE ARE AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH SEMESTER. THE WRITING PORTFOLIO PROJECT, SECOND SEMESTER, IS PART OF THIS REQUIREMENT. IF YOU DO NOT TURN ONE IN AND MAKE A 'C' OR BETTER, YOU WILL NOT PASS FRESHMAN ENGLISH.
