Attendance/Make Up Policy:
If you are absent, it is your responsibility to find out what you missed while you were gone and to make up any missed
work, quizzes, or tests. Make sure you make arrangements to borrow Mr. Dawkins’ notebook to fill in notes/get other
assignments or get the missing notes from the Google Classroom/Weebly page. You have two days to make up your missed
work for full credit. All make-up work must be made up in this time range. All assignments that are not turned in on time will
receive a deduction in credit for every day that it is late, or you will receive a zero if it is never turned in. Please make
arrangements with me to make up tests or quizzes if you are absent. All late work can be turned in for deducted credit but it
must be turned in by the end of the unit!!

Student Expectations:
 Follow ALL school rules and policies. See the Social Circle High School Student Handbook.
 Each student MUST have a 5 subject spiral notebook and it must be brought to class EACH day**
 File all papers accordingly in your notebook. Organization is a key to good study habits.
 Be respectful to everyone at all times.
 Academic dishonesty: Awaiting central office approval for policy on academic dishonesty.
 Always try your best! Your effort is very important. It is great to want to be thorough and complete, but it is even more
important to work as hard as you can to try to finish your class assignments, tests, and quizzes. Work hard, and you will
see your hard work pay off!
 Remember: Your grade is up to you! You are the only person who has complete control over your grade.
 ABSOLUTELY NO EATING IN CLASS!!!!

Late Assignments: Assignments that are turned in late will receive a deduction in credit. Students will receive a zero for any
work that is not turned in. Late assignments will NOT be accepted once we have completed the unit.

Tardy Policy: Students must be inside of the classroom and fully

prepared by the time the bell rings.
Test Corrections: Students will have the option to complete test
corrections for an exam up to a week after the exam has been given.
You will complete the test corrections outside of class. Late test
corrections will NOT be accepted.

Google Classroom is an online platform we will use
throughout the year. During the year, you will have
some assignments that will be completed through
Google Classroom.
Our Google Classroom page will include notes, study
guides, calendars, discussions, and other helpful
items for this class. It is imperative that you keep up
with the Google Classroom page to help be
successful in class!
