 * All students are expected to be positive, contributing members in this class. Be polite and thoughtful of one another. If your behavior prevents our class from functioning well, I will talk with you privately. No one will be publicly embarrassed or threatened. If unacceptable behavior continues, (1) an email to your parent(s), (2) a phone call to your parent(s) (3) a conference w/ Mrs. Janosik and (4) a conference with Ms.Carroll. **
 * 4. ABSENCES AND MAKEUP WORK. You are expected to make up any work missed because of any absence. Check EDLINE homework assignments. If anything is unclear, see or email me about a further explanation. You will be given //__2 days__// to make up major assignments. After that time, points will be deducted for lateness. However, it will be difficult for you to make up in-class group activities if you are absent. In some cases, I will give you alternative assignments, and you will need to confer with me about options. If you know beforehand that you will be absent, please inform me so that I can help you plan your makeup work. The quality of your work will be higher if you attend class regularly and meet all deadlines.**


 * 5. GRADED PAPERS AND HANDOUTS. Keep all graded papers and handouts in your English folders for reference. All tests and quizzes need to be signed by parents and returned promptly (within 2 days).**
