  2. All classroom expectations are based on one very simple ideal – “This class, wherever it is held, is a place of faith, respect and learning” In all circumstances this simple ideal governs all our actions and expectations of each other.

  3. We will, as a result of our working together, discover expectations of behaviour not specifically outlined in the school handbook, class policies or the Safe Schools Act. In such cases the simple question to be asked is: “Does my behaviour contribute to respecting others and contributing to this class as a place of learning and faith?”

  4. The class begins at the second bell indicating that students are to be in class and ready to work. These times can be found in the student handbook or as specified by the schedule of that particular day. Students who arrive after that time will be considered late.

  5. Students have three (3) minutes for a washroom break. I will be reluctant to grant bathroom breaks to students who abuse this. Only one (1) student will be given permission to leave at any time. If there is a medical reason why you should have unrestricted access to the washroom you will need to have your parents contact your administrator.

  6. When students are out of the classroom during class time they must carry the “Hall Pass”. This pass must be obtained from the teacher and returned to the teacher personally.

  7. Students are to remain at their desks until the bell rings singling the end of class.

  8. You are a community of learners, students learn best when all are focused on our purpose – learning. All students will not receive the value of learning if even a few individuals are not focused on this basic ideal.

  9. The school expectations of uniform and dress on civvies days are the expectation for this course.

  10. No food or drink is allowed in the classroom. The only exception is water which must not have any additives (Crystal Light, etc.) • This is necessary because: • The classroom and specifically the desks must be kept clean, free of rotting food as partially eaten food and wrappers can be a health hazard to other students, especially those with specific allergies. • This can affect students in other classes who use this room.

  11. Catching up on work missed due to absence or lateness is your responsibility. Check with a reliable classmate or check with me. Should you miss an assignment due date because of an absence, efforts should be made to get that assignment to me on that date, the earliest possible date or on the date of your return to school.

  12. Assignments not passed in by the date of your return to school will be considered late. If you know that an assignment could be late you must speak to me as soon as possible. You should also inform your parents as I may contact them to discuss the reasons for the assignment being late.

  13. Missed tests must be written within 3 school days after returning to school. • It is your responsibility to make arrangements with me to make up the test. • All make-up tests will be written outside of class time.

  14. MP3 players, CD players and other entertainment devices cannot be brought into class. Cell phones cannot be used during class (wherever we hold class). School policies and directions from the principal will govern matters where students fail to comply with this directive.

  15. Plagiarism is using the work of other people as your own (this would include cutting and pasting information from a website into an assignment and making it look like it is yours, or copying part or all of an assignment from another student). • Plagiarism can result in an assigned mark of “0”.

  16. When you use someone else’s ideas you must show in your assignment where you found that information. If you have questions on how to do this please consult with the Style Guide found on the “I” drive under Common and then under English.

  17. It is your responsibility to make sure you have sufficient print credits to do any required work on the school computers. You should periodically check your balance under “Utilities” on the main menu of your computer account. If you need more credits you must pay at the office. You will be credited within 20 minutes to 24 hours.

  18. You will be given sufficient notice concerning assignments that permit or require computer use. Ensure you save your work on more than one device (e-mail, memory stick, school system, home computer) so you are protected should you experience printer or computer problems. These problems will not be considered as an excuse for late or missed assignments.

  19. Assignments are to be printed using black ink, unless otherwise instructed. Font size 12. • Assignments must be handed in neatly, not torn out of a binder and preferably typed. • Assignments will be returned to be completed properly if these instructions are not followed.

  20. All tasks must be completed on time. Consequences will range from detention, referral to homework club to consultation with parents.

  21. Any summative task not completed on time (item completed during the course that contributes to the students mark but is not part of the final project or exam for the course) will result in some of the following actions: • Parental contact. • Request to achieve filed with guidance. • Loss of marks. • Assignment of incomplete mark. • Setting of new due date or assignment of alternate activity.

  22. Any cumulative task (part of the final project or exam for the course) not completed by the specified due date will result in a mark of zero (0) for that item. • The student should still endeavor to complete the item as itmaybe used to show that the student has covered enough material to earn at least a pass. • The teacher will be contacting your administrator and parent.

  23. Should you or your parents wish to review these policies they can be found on ClassNet under “Course Outline”. • NOTE: All Civics information and assignments can only be found under “History”.
