About My Class ~ General Information
Dear Students (and Parents),
Welcome! There are some key things that you need to know in order to succeed in my classroom this year.
You will need a one-inch binder dedicated to this class. It will be difficult to pass this class without it. I expect you to keep all assignments organized in your binder according to Due Dates. In other words, don't throw anything away. At the end of each marking period you will receive a test grade for your binder (if you keep your assignments and take notes it is an easy A to average into your grade). You do not ever need to bring your book to class; I keep a class set. So, binder and pen are all you need.
You should be aware of your CONSISTENT homework assignments for the year. Every assignment must have your full name on it in an MLA heading(see my website). There is a project-grade research assignment due when you return from December break. If you are going away, you should budget your time since you have from September-on to get it done.
Class attendance is mandatory and I expect you to be present in class and prepared to contribute. I cannot teach you if you are not in class. Excessive absences will affect your grade.
Cellphones are not permitted in class. I do NOT interrupt my class for cell phone use. I will simply notify the Vice-Principal, who will confiscate it and give it back at 3:30pm.
Finally, communication is very important to being a successful student in my class. If you are sick, have a special situation that will interfere with your work, or are feeling overwhelmed by the class, please see me privately during my office hours. Self-advocating properly is a skill that will serve you well in life!
Please see your class webpage for more information.
I'm looking forward to a great year of learning with you!
Sincerely,
Michael Tuttle
