5. Grades • Grades will be determined through classwork, homework, bell ringers, tests, quizzes, and projects. • Grades will be posted in the classroom on a weekly basis (usually Fridays) • Progress reports will be sent home if you are in danger of failing the marking period or are missing a substantial number of assignments

6. Tardy • You will be marked tardy if you are not in your seat working on the bell ringer when the tardy bell rings • If you are tardy, sign in on the checklist • Leave any passes with the checklist • Go directly to seat and get to work (do not walk in front of the teacher) • Do not interrupt the class - We can all see that you are late, there’s nothing left for you to announce

7. What if I am unprepared for class? • Sign on the check sheet below the phone • Turn in an item for collateral (leave near the checklist on my desk) • When you return the pencil at the end of the lass period, you get your item back • Being unprepared results in 1 √
