Class Rules:
l. Assignments are due on the day posted. Late assignments will be graded
down one grade per week. If an assignment is
late, the student needs to turn it in to Mrs. Ensberg's mailbox in the
office
signed and dated by Mrs. Welte. The only exceptions to this rule are
excused
absences from school on the day the assignment is due.
2. Assignments are not to be done in ink-pencil only or typed.
3. Notebooks will be turned in each term and are expected to be neat,
orderly and up to date. All papers need to be saved and filed. Students
are
to bring notebooks to EVERY CLASS!!!
5. If a test or quiz is missed, the student has two weeks to make
arrangements with the instructor to make up the test. This is the student's
responsibiity.
6. Each student has a study-buddy. Any missed assignments or papers handed
out in class are to be collected from the study buddy. Extra hand-outs are
not kept by the instructor.
7. Disruptive behavior will be addressed by: one warning to improve
behavior given by the instructor. If the negative behavior persists, a 3
day
detention during lunch recess will be assigned. During this time, the
student will copy a report on the composer assigned by the instructor. This
is not a time to do homework. Parents will be informed of any action taken
by the instructor.
During the play rehearsals, any negative behavior not corrected will result
in a lower grade for the marking period and expulsion from being on stage.
