CITIZENSHIP, TARDY POLICY, RULES
Citizenship is based on Wasatch Jr. High’s guidelines for citizenship grades
and includes both behavior in the classroom and amount of tardies students
acquire throughout the quarter.  Wasatch Jr. High’s guidelines for tardies
and school rules will also apply (see school planner for details).

ASSIGNMENTS, ASSESSMENTS, AND PROJECTS
-Assignments turned in after the due date will be accepted for one week. 
Points will be deducted from assignments turned in late.  Assignments missed
because of an absence need to be made up ASAP and no later than one week
after the due date.  Students are responsible for finding and completing work
when they are absent.  Current events will be included weekly. These
(including notebook packets and planner checks) are worth 70% of student’s
grade.
-Quizzes will be given periodically.  Notice will be given before the quiz is
given.  Tests will be in map and question (matching, multiple choice, essay,
etc.) form.  These are worth 30% of student’s grade. 
-Mini-Projects:  Students will work on mini-projects relating to particular
units (areas of the world) in the curriculum throughout the year.
-Notebook packets:  Students will be expected to keep a packet of notes,
maps, and other class related information throughout the quarter.  These
packets will be turned in at the end of each chapter/unit.
-Planner checks:  Students are required to bring and fill out their planners
daily.  At the end of each week, planners will be checked and students will
receive scores accordingly.
