CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS

1. Follow Teams for Do Nows, Lessons, Assignments

2. Follow ALL school policies and expectations, please read the Saint Louis Public School Handbook.

Specifically: no cell phones

3. Students are expected to be respectful of all class members (including students, teachers, other staff, administrators, and guests) and of all school property (including desks, chairs, walls, books, flooring, and any equipment or electronics).

4. Students are expected to complete all work and take all tests on designated dates.

For excused absences: It is the student’s responsibility to get their make-up work and schedule make-up tests outside of class time (before/after school, advisory). Missed work must be made up within a week after returning to school for full credit. Any work due on the missed day(s) must be turned in the day you return to school.

Make-Up Policy

Some assignments, quizzes and tests may be resubmitted to demonstrate proficiency. If a student completes assignment/exit ticket/quiz/test/mid-term/or final late, they are required to contact Ms. DeGreeff by email advising her of what assignment was done. If the student does not advise Ms. DeGreeff of the make-up work, the student can miss credit for the assignment since the online curriculum we use for class does not alert the instructor of late assignments completed.

Retesting

Students can retake any test regardless of their grade once the grade has been provided. Students have two weeks from the original test date to retest their test.

Late Work Policy

Partial credit of 50% will be given for assignments turned in after two weeks of the due date; but the teacher will use a sliding curve on all late assignments between the due date and two-week period. All exit tickets are due prior to class ending.
