Where you can contact me:
-
- Classroom: Room 211
- After school help: Room 211
- Email: cgallo@nhvweb.net
- Voicemail: Ext. 4497
Cell phones will be placed in the Cell Phone Motel when entering the classroom. They are to remain there until the end of class and I let students pick up their phones.
- What you need to bring to class each day:
- A notebook, a three ring binder for handouts, your student I.D., and a pen/and or pencil.
- What you won’t bring to class each day:
- Food, beverages, hats, or I-Pods.
- What will happen if you are late to class?
- The classroom door is closed as the bell rings.
- If I need to open the door for you, you are tardy, unless you have a pass signed by a school official. Three tardies will result in a teacher administered detention.
- How your grades will be determined:
- Grades will be determined using the district grading policy outlined in your student handbook. Grades are determined by total points.
- You will get at least a 3 days notice on all tests. Quizzes may be announced or unannounced.
- LATE POLICY: If you hand in an assignment or lab report late
ONE DAY your grade for the assignment will be reduced 25%. Two days late, it will be reduced 50%. Three days late, there will be no credit. If you cut class you will receive NO CREDIT.
MAKE UP POLICY: All missed work due to absence will be entered as a zero in the grade book until it is made up. You have two days for every missed school day to make up missed work. You are responsible for finding out about missed work!
What will happen if you are absent from class:
- You are responsible for all work and handouts you missed while you are absent.
- You should get class notes from a classmate and come to me if you do not understand the material.
- If you are absent only one day and a test was given, you are expected to take the test the day you return, except under extreme
- If you are absent on the review day before the test, YOU ARE STILL EXPECTED TO TAKE THE TEST ON THE SCHEDULED DAY!
- Please notify me beforehand if you are going to be out of class because of a guidance appointment, school or personal function. All work that is due should be sent with a classmate or given to me before class. Tests should not be missed.
- Cheating & Plagiarism Policy: Anyone caught cheating will receive a zero for the assignment and I will phone home to report the incident to your parents. Repeated or large scale cheating will result in disciplinary action by the administration.
- Plagiarism is a serious issue and we will review proper citation methods prior to any project or long term written assignment.
I reserve the right to modify this course guide as needed.
