Standards / Concerns

Citizenship grades are based upon the following criteria, each of which is observable during the grading period.  Citizenship grades are also cumulative throughout the semester.  Students are expected to be:

RESPONSIBLE

• Bring supplies regularly, submit completed assignments when due, have textbook covered at all times, request work missed during absences, put full name on all assignments, utilize class time wisely, be organized and neat (notebook, backpack, etc.).

RESPECTFUL

• Behave in a manner conducive to the learning environment, follow all the rules within the class, be polite and courteous to the teacher and classmates, be friendly and helpful.

RELIABLE

• Be on time and attend regularly (especially on testing days), make up work missed during absences, complete all individual and group work.

HONEST

• Some work is collaborative (group work) but most and especially quizzes / exams are not.  There is no tolerance for cheating, copying others, plagiarizing sources, etc. and severe penalties may result, including receiving an F grade in citizenship.
