Grades:
You must average a passing grade (70%) on classwork, homework, and assessments given during the five weeks of summer school. A significant amount of homework will be assigned nightly and must be completed by start of the following class.

Materials:
Everyday, you MUST have your textbook, binder, lined paper, and a pen or pencil.  It is highly recommended that you bring a calculator to class, you will not be provided one.

Organization:
You must keep every handout in sequential order in your binder.  Proper organization of your binder will help you study for your course assessments and the Final Proficiency.

Absence/Tardy Policy:
>2 absences = repeat course You are responsible for any material you miss when you are absent!
>10 minutes tardy=1 absence and student will not be admitted to class.
<10 minutes tardy - 3 tardies = 1 absence Missed Do Now Assignments cannot be made up = 0 points
Any distracting/negative behavior = 1 send to dean/sent home = 1 absence

Proficiency Retakes:
Final Proficiency Exam and Science Fair retakes will be held on July 5, July 20 and August 5. Classes will not be held these days for students who have already passed the Final Proficiency Exam and/or Science Fair.  The Proficiencies will be a sampling of the objectives that were taught in your regular class this year.  In summer school, we will quickly review these objectives but you are responsible for mastery of ALL of them for the Proficiency.  Please schedule an appointment with me if you would like to further review any of the objectives or if you would like additional practice.
