In order for us to have a productive summer year, it is necessary to have certain procedures that must be followed. It will ensure that everyone will have the opportunity to learn. With your cooperation, I feel confident that this summer will be an enriching experience for all of us.


 * // Preparation: //** You will need to bring a three ring binder, loose leaf paper, and a blue or black pen to class everyday. Most of the classwork will be submitted through the wikispace website.


 * // Attendance: //** Each day of summer school counts as 2 sessions. If you miss more than 4 sessions each semester, you will fail that semester. Failure of the semseter due to absences will require you to request an attendance waiver from the summer school administration. If you miss more than 15 minutes of any session, you will be counted absent for that session.


 * // Tardiness: //** You need to arrive on time for class. Habitual tardiness will result in referral to the administration.


 * // Make-up Work: //** It is your responsibility to get all of the make-up work you missed the next day of class. All class assignments will be on the class wikispace. It is imperative that you make every attempt to be in class everyday.


 * // Planner: //** You must have a pass signed by the teacher to leave the classroom. Passes will be signed at the discretion of the teacher.


 * Grading: ** The method of grading in the course will be total points. To determine your grade you can divide the total number of points earned by the total number of points possible.

// Example: 8 out of 10 is 8/10 which is an 80% //
