What are Mr. Hill's classroom rules?
1. When you enter the classroom, the day’s agenda will be on the
white board.
2. You may have a “Journal Question” to begin work on right after the
second bell rings. Please work silently until everyone is done with the
assignment.
3. Electronic devices such as pagers, cell phones, palm pilots,
calculators, CD players, MP3, etc. are not allowed to be in sight or used
and are to be kept in your back pack. If it causes a disruption it will be
confiscated and given to an administrator.
4. No food or candy is to be eaten in the classroom. First offense -
you will be asked to put it away. After first offense the food or candy will
be introduced to the trash can. Gum chewing will be allowed - popping of
gum will NOT be allowed - first offense, a warning. After the first offense
gum will also be introduced to the trash can. If gum is found stuck on the
floor, walls, under the desk or anywhere else, besides your mouth, this
privilege will be revoked. No food, candy or drinks in class.
5. Stay in your assigned seat until I dismiss you at the end of
class. “Don’t ever forget…you are special”.
6. Your restroom privileges will be treated as though you are in a
professional setting. Choose your time wisely and do not abuse this
privilege or you will lose it.
7. You are required to have in your possession a school I.D. card to obtain
a hall pass. If you need a drink of water or need to sharpen a pencil,
please do so before class starts.

What are the grading criteria used in American History and Criminolgy?
Grades are based on accumulative points for class work, homework, tests,
quizzes and projects. The quarter grade will be determined by adding up all
the points earned and dividing by the total points possible. The resulting
grade will be given a letter grade based on the Mesa Public Schools’ grading
policy. The semester grade will be based on the first quarter grade, second
quarter grade, and the final exam.
90 - 100% = A
80 - 89 % = B
70 - 79 % = C
60 - 69 % = D
0 - 59 % = Fail
Grades are not "rounded up"
