School Policy
Make sure you read the
student / parent handbook. I will enforce all school rules. Any violation of these rules will result in a school
detention.
Classroom.
Students must bring the
following items to class every day:
The Class Textbook:
ÒThe Church through
HistoryÓ
The New American Bible
A Notebook for taking
class notes
A Blue or Black pen and
or pencil.
If a student forgets to
bring any of these necessary items to
class, they will receive a
0% for the day.
Homework.
All homework is due on the
assigned date. Any one who turns
homework in after that date will NOT BE ACCEPTED. All homework must be complete or the
assignment will not be collected.
(If a student is sick,
homework is due on the day they return.)
Discipline.
If there is a problem in
class I will first of all talk to the student, and try to understand a situation. If the problem persists, I will call
home and report the problem to the parent. If the problem cannot be resolved by the parent and the
teacher, I will then use the school detention system.
I expect all students to have
manners and use them in the classroom.
