Binders
Binders will be checked and graded in the AVID class every other week. Binders will be graded for organization, Cornell notes, materials & supplies, a completed daily planner, daily “to do” lists, and learning goals and scales. If you are absent for Binder Check, due to illness, you may request a Binder Check on the day you return. Additional binder checks by mentors occur throughout the year so binders must be organized at all times. A minimum of three (2) pages of Cornell notes/learning logs are required for EACH CLASS each binder check for a total of ten (10).
Classwork, Homework, and Projects
Class work and homework assignments are designed to help students to develop personally and academically and to ultimately prepare them for college and a career. Essays will be written in MLA format.
There will be numerous individual and group projects each semester.
Tutorials
Students will be graded on each tutorial session. Students earn points for their questions, participation, and reflection during the tutorial process. Since tutorials are a collaborative effort, students must be present and participate to receive credit. Students who are absent due to illness may make up points by completing a tutorial by visiting one of the learning centers and having a teacher present help and sign off on their tutorial paper.
Tutors will assist students on their path towards arriving at answers, but they will not provide the answers for students.
Portfolio
Students will collect specified documents to be placed in a portfolio. Portfolios will be assessed at least once per semester
Homework
Homework is due at the beginning of the class period.
Any assignments turned in late will be worth HALF credit unless you have an excused absence.
Warm-Ups
At the beginning of each class period, there will be a warm-up activity.
You will get a weekly handout for recording your warm-up answers.
You cannot turn in a warm-up on a separate paper.
All the warm-ups for the week must be on the same handout, turned in every Friday
Class Rules/Expectations
1) Follow all rules and procedures outlined in the student handbook
2) Treat teachers, fellow students, guest speakers, and property with respect
3) No food or drink in class expect for water
4) No cell phones or headphones will be used during class. If they are out, they will be confiscated. After your first offense, your cell phone will be turned in to administration
They must sign-out in my book, including the date, your name, the class period, and the time you left the room
You must also write down the time you return
You CANNOT leave the room without the blue pass
If you fail to follow these procedures, you will not be allowed to leave the classroom during class
You CANNOT leave the classroom for a drink of water. Bring a water bottle with you if you are thirsty.
Evacuations/ Lock Down
Evacuation (Fire Drill):
Leave binders, notebook, materials; take purses & backpacks
Walk QUIETLY out the front door, through the double doors, and to the left in front of the pool
Stay TOGETHER there until “All Clear”
Lockdown:
I will lock all the doors, turn lights off & put up a GREEN sign in the front door window
If you are in bathroom or hallway, get to class ASAP!
All students will stay away from the doorway
NO TALKING!!!
Tardies/Sweeps
You are considered tardy if you are not in the classroom when the bell rings. If you are not in the room when the last bell rings, you will be sent to the sweep room.
If you are swept when as assignment is due, you must turn in that assignment that day to receive full credit
If you miss a test or quiz while you are in sweeps, you must come to my room right after school to make up that test or the grade will result in a zero
It is your responsibility to get any notes or assignments that were given during the class that you missed.
If you are swept more than 3 times, your make-up work will not be accepted and all missing assignments will be entered as zeros.
The sweep-make up work procedures also apply to missing class for ISD or evening school
Attendance
If you are absent from school for any reason, make sure your parents call the attendance office at (480) 812-7703.
Failure to call the attendance office within 24 hours of the absence will result in an unexcused absence.
You are responsible for all work you miss if you are not in class.
I will not accept make-up work for full credit unless your absence was excused.
You can get copies of missed class work and assignments from the make-up work folders.
Beginning of Class Procedures
When you enter the classroom everyday, you need to do the following:
1) Sit in your assigned seat
2) Get started on the warm-up on the board or overhead
3) Work quietly until further instruction
