Effective communication is a key to success. Under this section, you will find classroom rules, procedures and policies. If you are looking for assignments or due dates you can find that under the Honors World History or World History "Lesson Plans" option on the left menu.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:

All students at Lampasas High School are expected to conduct themselves with great pride in academics and the community at large. To this end, it is expected that all students will maintain academic integrity in every assignment. Work must be completed individually unless otherwise directed by the teacher. Plagiarism is a severe offense and will result in immediate consequences.

The first day of class, I will put you in a seating chart. You may assume, that unless I change your seating, this is your seat for the remainder of the school year.

What do you do when entering and leaving the room?

Entering: Get some hand sanitizer on your way in the door, find your seat and check for your STAAR and Bell Ringer Activities in Canvas.
Exiting: DO NOT WAIT at my door! I will dismiss you or you will have an exit ticket to dismiss you from class.

YOU MUST HAVE YOUR CHROMEBOOK EVERY DAY, CHARGED!
Tardy Policy

If my door is closed, you must go to the attendance window and get a pass to be admitted into the room. The student handbook indicates when too many tardies will result in ISS or another consequence.

Class Participation

I expect you to have completed any homework or reading assignment, and be prepared to turn it in or contribute to the discussion.

When do the extra conversations end?

You may talk QUIETLY during bell ringer time and while I’m taking care of clerical obligations.
When I stand up to begin the direct teach OR independent work begins, all extra conversations need to end. RESPECT your neighbor’s need for quiet while they work.

Using resources and supplies?

Please take care of needing to borrow a writing utensil and paper, chromebooks and chargers, or sharpening your pencil before class and during bell ringer time.
Once direct teach begins, it’s emergency only.

Cell Phones?

There is NO need to have cell phones out during class - you have Chromebooks.
NO cell phones out during exams.

Earbuds?

No Earbuds are allowed.

Food and Drink?

Water will never be an issue. Bring a water bottle with you if you’d like.
Sweet, sticky, sugary drinks - with a close-able lid, unless they become an issue.
Food - small, quickly consumed snacks in a seal-able container/bag, that can be put away quickly if necessary. Be aware of mask protocol.
ANY TIME food and drink become an issue - the privilege will be done away with. This includes; leaving messes, wrappers, excessive spills, or it becomes a distraction or you are treating my class time as lunch time.

My attention?

Raise your hand and wait to be called on.

Course Requirements?

All work is due on the due date.
Late work will be taken up to two weeks from the due date and no later and you will lose 10pts/day with the max deducted being 30pts.

Grading Policy

50% daily
50% tests
Extra credit offered periodically

Make-up policy

Ideally, if you know you will be out, please turn in your work prior to leaving; otherwise, turn in as soon as you return. All work will be available on Canvas. So, you will have access if you are absent.
IF you have missed several days, please see the student handbook for district adopted deadlines.
Most work will be posted AND linked in Canvas; however, class discussions not through Canvas will not be posted.

Extra Credit?

See Canvas and/or Syllabus for Extra Credit opportunities.

Class Rules

RESPECT!!!! Pretty much covers it. If you respect yourself, respect your classmates, and respect me - we should not have any problems in class.

Material distribution

Most of your work will be in Canvas
Hard copies, I will pass out
Completed, written assignments - please turn-in in the metal drawer for your class period on the cabinet by the door. Digital Submissions will be through Canvas at all times, unless otherwise specified.
Returnable, graded work will be handed out within five days of being graded.

Bathroom privileges

eHall passes

Class Liaisons
- Needs to be close to the front of the room
- If the adult has keys to unlock my door, please greet them and inform them what we are doing in class
- If it is a classmate, allow them into the room
- Any unknown individuals - adults or students - signal me and I will take care of the visitor.

Volunteers?

EXTRA CREDIT DAILY WORK - on occasions throughout the school year, I will offer extra daily grades for things as simple as extra supplies to be used in class by all classmates.

EXTRA TEST GRADES - When students read OPTIONAL, approved historical fiction books and write a minimum of a 2 page book summary, it will be used as an ADDITIONAL test grade. Please see the Extra Credit Book List or Extra Credit Movie List for already approved books and movies. Some hard copies are available as well. These summaries will need to be turned in during the study of the Era the novel is referencing, IE: "Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett = Middle Ages/ Unit 4 through the Link in the module. Continually check the book list for new options.
