Expectations

Grade 9

Home                                   GCS Home
Classwork: Students are expected to keep all of their work in a 3-ring binder, bringing it to class daily and submitting it for grading quarterly.
Homework: Students are expected to complete their work on time.  Generally, assignments for the week are posted in class on Monday and on the webpage on Tuesday.  Undone or incomplete work may be finished for a better grade up until the assignment is reviewed in class.  After that, the only way a student’s homework grade may be improved is by completing additional, equivalent work.
Tests: Students are expected to study for periodic tests and quizzes.  Most assessments are announced in advance, however, checks for reading or understanding are unannounced.  Students who fail a test may take a retest within one week of receiving the failing grade.
Absences: Students are expected to make up all missed work as soon as possible.  Also, they are expected to participate fully in class upon the first day of their return.  A student must make arrangements to make up work before a planned absence.  Failure to do so could result in a “0” for any missed work.

Behavior: Students are expected to learn and follow classroom rules and routines within the first few weeks of school.  Additional rules and procedures may be established as needed throughout the year.  Persistent misbehavior, which interferes with the teaching and learning process, will not be tolerated.

Consequences: The nature, severity, and frequency of the misbehavior, the school’s discipline code, and law will be considered when consequences are applied.
