Policies and Procedures:
Tardiness: You must be in the classroom before bell rings. When leaving the class, I will dismiss you; not the bell.
Absenteeism: If you are absent, there are a number of ways to get your missing assignments; One, check out my website at www.mrshearn.weebly.com. Two, ask a friend. Three, see me before or after class. All worksheets will be placed in the back of the room by day, so help yourself. For every day that you miss, I will allow two days to make up work without a penalty for late work.
Homework: Homework is due the day after it is assigned, unless othersie stated. If assignment is not in class when it is due, it can be turned in for half credit the next day. If the assignment is not turned in the next day, no credit will be given. Missed tests will be made up before or after school as soon as possible.
Posting of Grades: Thursday will be the day that I pass back all assignments from the previous week. You will know your grades every Thursday by printed progress report. You must have your parent/ guardian sign it and return it by Tuesday of the following week. Each signed progress report will be worth 5 homework points.ü Determining Grades: Tests, quizzes, homework, laboratory work, bell work, projects, progress report signatures will make up 80% of your grade. The other 20% will be made up of your trimester exam grade.

C = 75% - 73% C- = 72% - 70% D+ = 69% - 66% D = 65% - 63% D- = 62% - 60% E = below 59%
