*If you receive a mark of a B or an I on an assignment you must have your parent or guardian sign
your assignment. Once this is done you may submit this mark to be entered into Home Logic. My intention
is to only accept your BEST work! While it is important to remember that evaluation measures the
knowledge (cognitive) and skills (practical) expectations of learning, evaluation is not meant to be a
judgement on a students faith.

After a third indiscretion the student will have a brief

conversation with the teacher and they will discuss proper
classroom behavior.
If a student is re-admitted to the classroom and persists
there indiscrete behavior and/ or interrupts the learning of
other students in anyway, that student will be asked to

stay for a lunchtime meeting the following day to discuss

another lunch time meeting the teacher will be contacting
the students parents or guardians to address the issue.
