RULES
FOR SUCCESS IN CLASS
ALL GLOBAL STUDIES CLASSES
IT IS HUMAN NATURE TO WANT TO BE A SUCCESS. THIS IS WITHIN THE REACH OF EVERY STUDENT IF THEY CHOOSE. THERE ARE CERTAIN "GIVENS" THAT, IF FOLLOWED, CAN HELP ACHIEVE THIS SUCCESS.
*IDS MUST BE ON AND PROPERLY DISPLAYED IN ORDER TO BE IN CLASS ON A DAILY BASIS!
1. BE IN CLASS - ATTENDANCE
2. BE IN CLASS ON TIME = TARDIES (KNOW THE TARDY POLICE - KNOW THE LOCK OUT POLICY.
3. BE IN CLASS PREPARED = BOOKS, NOTEBOOKS, PEN/PENCILS, AGENDAS AND OTHER MATERIALS OR WORK.
ALWAYS HAVE BOOKS IN CLASS!4. LIMIT TALKING TO THE APPROPRIATE TIME = ORDERLY DISCUSSION IS ENCOURAGED.
5. ALL ASSIGNMENTS AND SHORT TERM WORK SHOULD BE COMPLETED ON TIME UNLESS EXCUSED IN ADVANCE.
6. LONG TERM PROJECTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AFTER THE END OF YOUR CLASS PERIOD UNLESS CLEARED PRIOR TO THAT DAY. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS NOW!
7. MAKE-UP WORK = AS ANNOUNCED. TRY NOT TO MISS TESTS IF POSSIBLE. MAKE UP WILL BE HELD IN AFTER SCHOOL DETENTION.
8. KEEP ALL ASSIGNMENTS AND PROJECTS ON YOUR CALENDAR. TIME MANAGEMENT IS AN IMPORTANT LESSON TO LEARN BEFORE COLLEGE. THE CALENDAR HELPS YOU LIST SHORT AND LONG TERM WORK THAT MUST BE COMPLETED, AND THE AMOUNT OF TIME YOU WILL HAVE TO FINISH IT.
9. KEEP UP WITH GRADES, ATTENDANCE & STUDENT ID#'S. KEEP THEM ON FILE.
10. PARTICIPATE = MORE OFTEN THAN NOT THIS CAN HAVE AN EFFECT ON GRADES.
11. "LISTEN" = YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED AT WHAT YOU HEAR AND LEARN.
12. DO NOT PACK UP BEFORE THE END OF CLASS. THIS CAN LEAD TO POINTS OFF THE DAILY GRADE!
13. NEVER HAVE A DECK OF CARDS OUT IN CLASS. *THIS NOW ALSO EXTENDS TO HAVING AN ELECTRONIC DECK OF CARDS UP ON THE COMPUTER!!!!!
14. END ALL SALES BY THE TARDY BELL. NO EATING IN THE BUILDING OR CLASSROOM.
15. CHEATING CAN NOT NOR WILL NOT BE TOLERATED IN ANY FORM. THIS CAN LEAD TO FAILURE OF THE COURSE. CHEATING IS BASICALLY DEFINED AS THE GIVING AND TAKING OF INFORMATION ON TESTS, TALKING DURING A TEST, THE COPYING OF OTHER STUDENTS HOMEWORK, THE LENDING OF HOMEWORK TO OTHER STUDENTS TO COPY. CHEATING ON A TEST WILL EQUAL A ZERO(0) ON THAT TEST. CHEATING ON HOMEWORK WILL EQUAL A ZERO (0) FOR THAT ASSIGNMENT. THE LENDING OR COPYING OF HOMEWORK FOR ANOTHER TEACHER DURING THIS CLASS WILL RESULT IN THE WORK FOR BOTH STUDENTS BEING TAKEN AND SENT TO THE TEACHER FOR WHOSE CLASS THE WORK IS BEING DONE = THIS WILL EQUATE A ZERO (0) IN MY CLASS.
*IN ACCORDANCE WITH NEW DISTRICT POLICY, ALL STUDENTS WILL WRITE AND SIGN THE DISTRICT HONOR CODE FOR ALL MAJOR ASSIGNMENTS, PROJECTS AND TEST:
“On my honor, I have neither given nor received unauthorized assistance on this assignment. I understand that any violation of the RSD2 honor code will result in academic and disciplinary action.” -signature
16. PLEASE DO NOT TALK DURING ANNOUNCEMENTS SO AS NOT TO MISS IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
17. EXTRA CREDIT FOR THE COURSE IS ASSIGNED NOW. ANYTHING YOU DO CONCERNING WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AT THE TIME AND TURN IN IS CREDITED AS EXTRA CREDIT. I WILL NOT REVIEW THIS TOPIC AGAIN.
18. PLEASE DO NOT GROOM IN CLASS, IT IS A VERY UNBECOMING AND DISTRACTING ACTION WHICH CAN AGAIN HAVE AN EFFECT ON YOUR GRADES.
19. DO NOT READ OR WRITE PERSONAL/"PRIVATE" NOTES AFTER THE TARDY BELL OR BEFORE THE END OF THE PERIOD.{A BLUE NOTE OFFENSE}. THESE WILL BE COLLECTED AND FILED.
20. WORKING ON MATERIALS FOR OTHER CLASSES DURING THE CLASS WILL RESULT IN THAT WORK BEING TAKEN AND SENT TO THE TEACHER FOR WHICH IT IS BEING DONE. THIS WILL EQUATE A ZERO (0) IN MY CLASS.
**OTHERS WILL BE COVERED IN CLASS AT THE OPENING OF EACH SEMESTER.
