Points system: Some assignments may be worth less than 100 points. This means they will not have as much impact as a 100 point grade.

Grading Procedures

Class tally system Follow beginning of class procedures, give

me your attention when I ask for it, etc.

Behavior

Class Dojo I will use Class Dojo to keep track of your

behavior throughout the class period. If you receive 5 positive points during the week,

you will earn a reward on Friday. You and your parents can see your points each

week. I will give you student and parent codes. Points start over each week. I will give 5 bonus points on a test if your parent

registers for Class Dojo.

Behavior

Better Choices Sheets will be used for excessive rule violations If negative behavior (talking, throwing, out of

seat) continues after filling out a better choices sheet, I will call a parent.

If a student is asked to fill out a Better Choices Sheet more than 4 times in one class period, I will write an office referral for “multiple classroom infractions”.

Behavior

If Class Dojo, the Better Choices Sheets, and parent phone calls are not effective, I will resort to an office referral.

Certain behaviors directly result in an office referral:

4th tardy Profanity Fighting Disrespect toward teacher

Behavior

1. Respect all people and property.

2. Come to class prepared and on time.

Class Rules

Tardies do not start over 2nd nine weeks. I will show you how many tardies you have

according to my computer records. You receive an office referral for every four

tardies. Be on time to class. It is disruptive and

distracting (even if you come in quietly) when you are tardy, so we need to limit the distractions as much as possible.

Tardy

Remind 101

Take the information sheet home to your parents and encourage them to sign up for Remind 101, too!

It’s free and everything is anonymous.

Thursday from 7AM – 3PM The class period with the highest

attendance of parents on Thursday will receive an football toward your class reward.
