Policies and Procedures  -       Mr. Broking

This should be kept in the front of your notebook for the entire year.

            All students are expected to abide by the rules stated in the Northern Highlands Regional High School Student/Parent Handbook.  In addition, the following is an outline of the specific requirements for all students in my classes.

            Preparation/Participation

            Students are to enter class before the late bell, prepared with the required

            materials:

1)      3 – ring binder.

2)      Folder or pockets.

3)      Pen or pencil. (I do not provide these)

4)      Be in your seat with all of these materials by the time the bell rings.

Class Rules

1)      Arrive on time prepared.

2)      Remain in seat unless instructed otherwise

3)      One person talks at a time, always raise hand first.

4)      Follow directions the first time they are given.

5)      Respect fellow classmates and their property.

6)      No FOOD or DRINK is allowed in the classroom.

7)      No CD players, cell phones, or similar electronic devices are allowed.

Homework

Homework is to be completed BEFORE entering class and must be ready to be collected, including a proper MLA format heading.

Work missed due to absences must be made up.

After 3 missed homework assignments a call will be made home.

Projects

Major assignments that are late will have 5 points deducted for each day late.

Tests/Quizzes

All tests will be announced at least one week in advance.

Quizzes may be announced or unannounced.

Organization “The Key to Success”

All notebooks must be kept in order.  There will be many handouts during this class: worksheets, guided notes, maps, readings, HW, just to name a few.  It is important to keep these handouts in the 3 ring binder when they are handed out.  Many of these handouts will also be on school wires, however keeping the notebook up to date and organized is the expected priority.

Grading

Each marking period grade will be determined using a Total Points System:

Homework……………………..10 to 20 points each

Quizzes…………………………30 to 60 points each

Tests/Projects…………………..100 points each

Make-up Work

All students are expected to make up any missed work on their time.

Work is to be made up in a timely fashion, according to the school’s policy.

Work not made up will become a zero.

Extra Help

Extra help is available after school Monday to Thursday.  I will be in room 221 after school until 3:00 pm.  It is always best to schedule ahead of time so I can prepare additional resources if necessary.  Extra help may also be at other times, but they must be scheduled ahead of time.
