Mr. Scholten’s Math Classes
Behavioral Expectations and Grading Process
The basic rules for class will be as follows:
- Treat others, as you would like to be treated.
- Respect your classmates and teacher.
- Raise your hand when you wish to speak.
- Listen attentively as your classmates or teacher speaks.
- Be on task while in class.
- Complete assignments on time (no credit is given for late assignments).
If a student continues to break these rules, besides the probability of detention, I will start taking points away from either their tests or homework points.
Stay off your cell phone. You will lose your phone for a school day if you are on it.
You may have gum (NO CANDY) but if I see it (blowing bubbles, hear it snapping, etc) you’ll have to throw it away.
No bathroom breaks. (You might want to use a tardy for a bathroom break.)
Be in your seat and ready to work as soon as the bell rings or you are tardy.
When class is wrapping up, stay in your seats until I release you.
Tardiness
For each semester, every tardy after four results in an hour detention. Excessive tardiness will be dealt with by a conference between the student, parent/guardian, and teacher.
Other Infractions
I will give warnings for minor misbehaviors in class before sending a student to the office, giving detention or writing a referral. In the event of a bigger infraction (i.e. swearing at another student, hitting another person, etc.), I will send the student to the principal’s office immediately.
Grading Process
The following is the percentages of how each student is graded.
