    School Year 2008-2009

    Course Expectations

    CLASS EXPECTATIONS:
    Students are expected to follow all classroom rules and procedures as well as the five mantras of the
    Phoenix. The five main criteria for acceptable behavior are the following:
    • BE PROMPT
    • BE PREPARED.
    • BE POLITE.
    • BE PARTICIPATORY
    • BE PROACTIVE

    CLASS GOALS:
    My primary goals for all students in this class are as follows:
    • Prepare you to take and pass the CAHSEE English test
    • Prepare you to take and pass the CAHSEE Math test
    • Prepare you for college

    TOPICS TO BE COVERED:
    CAHSEE Essentials
    College Readiness

    MATERIALS:
    Students will be required to bring the following with them to class EVERYDAY:
    • 1 composition notebook
    • 2 blue/black pens
    • 2 pencils with erasers

    HOMEWORK:
    Homework will be given at least once a week and students are expected to have homework completed by
    the beginning of each class period. Homework will be checked for completion every day and scored
    randomly.

    ATTENDANCE:
    It is crucial that you are in class everyday. If you are absent, it is your responsibility to check the
    notebook in class to determine what you have missed. Work not turned in while you were absent will not
    be counted as late as long as it is turned in the day you return to school.

    MAKEUP EXAMS/RETAKES:
    Students will have 1 week to schedule a time to make up the exam that was missed. After the one week
    has passed, students will suffer an automatic zero on the exam. Students will be allowed to retake an
    exam if their initial grade was a D or an F. A “C” is the maximum grade a student can earn for a retake
    examination. Students wishing to retake an exam must arrange to do so within one week after the exam
    has been returned.

    LATE WORK:
    Any work turned in late will suffer an automatic full letter grade deduction. Late work will only be accepted
    until the end of the grading period. After a progress report has been sent home, work for that quarter will
    no longer be accepted.

    GRADING:
    The school wide grading scale at Ànimo Justice is as follows:

    1
    • 100%-90%=A
    • 89%-80%=B
    • 79%-70%=C
    • 69%-60%=D
    • 59% and below=F

    ASSESSMENT/ GRADING PERCENTAGES:


    The following is the breakdown for how students will be assessed throughout the semester:
    • Homework/Class work: 25%
    • Projects/Discussions: 25%
    • Quizzes/Unit Tests: 20%
    • Midterm/Final Exam: 20%
    • Participation: 10%

    OFFICE HOURS/COMMUNICATION
    I will have 2 hours a week called “Office Hours” designated as time to help students with their course work.
    For the first quarter, these hours are Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30pm-4:30pm, but are subject to
    change every quarter. Parents are encouraged to communicate with me via email: [email protected]

    The instructor reserves the right to make additions, changes, and deletions
    to the syllabus during the course of the year.
    By signing this form, I acknowledge that I have read and understand everything in
    the Course Expectations.
