Classroom Expectations
Students are expected to arrive on time and prepared for class. Being prepared includes having homework and all required materials for the class. In the classroom students are expected to be respectful and responsible at all times.
Classroom behavior expectations follow the 6 pillars of Character Counts:
Be Respectful
Be Responsible
Be Fair
Be Trustworthy
Be A Good Citizen
Be Caring
Students are expected to respect Mrs. D, themselves, the other students in the classroom, and the learning that is taking place.

In the event that students do not follow the classroom expectations, the following steps will be implemented.
1. Warning (usually verbal, sometimes the "stink eye")
2. Time out of the classroom (few minutes in the hallway)
3. Detention (usually lunch with Mrs. D)
4. Parent Contact (the student makes the phone call)

Late Work Policy
On the most part, homework is due the day after it is assigned. Exceptions to this would be large projects. Mrs. DeLeone accepts late work, on everything except large projects, but the work is subject to the late work policy. Each quarter students are given 100 points for "accountability." Every time an assignment is turned in late 5 points will be deducted from the "accountability" grade (in the gradebook the accountability grade will change and the assignment will be marked with a "late" icon). The assignment will be graded, and the earned score will be entered into the gradebook. This allows Mrs. DeLeone to see how students are performing on learning tasks and/or if their struggles are with homework responsibilities.
Redo Assignments
Most work can be redone for a higher score (exceptions include: tests, quizzes, warm-ups, and large projects). Just fix the problems that were marked incorrect, give Mrs. DeLeone a short sentence explaining what went wrong, and turn it in before the unit test is given. The new score will be entered into the gradebook.
Extra Credit
Mrs. DeLeone does not offer much extra credit. If students keep up with their homework and get help when necessary, they should be successful. However, some extra credit is available. Students and parents can log onto Powerschool and print the progress reports in math and science. Parents need to sign the progress reports, and the student turns them in. Mrs. DeLeone will accept up to 6 progress reports in each class during the quarter for 5 points extra credit each.
Occasionally, Mrs. DeLeone will announce or assign other extra credit opportunities, but these opportunities are rare and students should take advantage of them when available.

Tardies
Students are expected to arrive to class, and be seated with ALL of the necessary materials by the time the bell rings. If students are not seated, or are missing class supplies they will be given a tardy. When students accumulate 4 tardies in a quarter they will call home, 5 tardies will result in detention, and more than 5 will require a referral to the office.
Necessary supplies for class are as follows: notebook, pencil, text book, and any other materials announced prior to class.
