  2. Weighted Grading Scale • Homework constitutes 15% of a student’s grade. • Tests constitutes 40% of a student’s grade. • Projects are 35% of a student’s grade • Daily Work/Participation will constitute 10% of a student’s grade. • Extra Credit points may or may not be given during each 9 week grading period. • However, I do like to add extra project points to those of you who exceed expectations.

  3. Drills!Absolutely NO TALKING for emergency directions Fire Drill Procedures: Tornado Drill Procedures: • We always will line up in a straight line at the door. I will lead you out and up the closest stairwell and outside on the sidewalk. We move in a quiet and orderly fashion, which is MUCH safer for you. • For this drill, I will lead you out into the hallway. • You are to have a seat against the wall with your hand protecting the wall.

  5. Restroom Breaks • Try to use the restroom before class begins. We begin promptly at 8:00. • You will be given two restroom breaks during the day. This should be sufficient. • If you have a medical issue related to this, then I need to have a written excuse from your doctor, please.
