Grading
Each class period you have the opportunity to earn points for your grade. Your grade will be based on scores earned on classroom assignments, activities, projects, quizzes, tests, homework, notebooks, and class participation. Final grades will be assigned at the end of the marking period. The grade breakdown will be split as such:
ü Attitude/Participation
ü Quizzes
ü Class work/Notebook
ü Homework/Assignments
ü Tests
ü Final Exam 20% of your final grade
Use your time wisely in class when you are given assignments.
Always have your notebook up to date with the current class work and assignments. Each class the student will be responsible for completing class assignments. These assignments will be kept in each student’s required notebook and checked for completion. If an assignment is not completed during class time it may be assigned as homework. Assignments turned in after the due date but before the end of the next class period will receive a one-letter grade deduction from the earned score. After that time no points will be given.

Classroom Environment
Ms. Yemm/Mrs. K
· Be Respectful: Every student has the right to a safe and secure classroom; you do not have the right to impede or jeopardize that in any way. Be respectful of yourself, your environment, your fellow classmates, and your teacher. Treat others the way you want to be treated.
· Be Responsible: The Oxford Dictionary defines responsible in this way: “Liable to be called into account. 2 morally accountable for one’s action, capable of rational conduct.” Act rationally; choose wisely. Recognize your own role in building a fun and productive community of learners. Understand there will be consequences, both good and bad, for your actions.
· Be Safe: Think about where you are and whom you are with. We must guarantee against harm or injury to another. Think. Ask yourself is it worth it? Would I want this done to me? I will not tolerate, nor should you, any behavior that takes away from the safety of this classroom, nor will the school.
· Be Cooperative: Time and again you will be asked to do something that you may not like or think is worthless. Be mature; work through it. You may find that “getting there” is half the fun. Our world demands that you work well with others. Think—choose wisely.
· Be A Worker: Do your job! Challenge yourself to be productive. You are here; use your time wisely.
- Follow the rules and guidelines of Souderton Area High School.
