Shelby County Schools offers
educational and employment opportunities without regard

Students
are expected to be on time and prepared for class. Materials needed are pencil, paper, and homework. I expect for all students to behave
accordingly. Phone calls will be
made to parents if I feel as though your child is disrupting the learning
environment of others. I do expect
for students to respect all members of the class.
Assignments
All assignments are due
at the beginning of class on the date shown.
If a student is absent,
assignments and tests must be made up within 3 days of return to classroom.
Assignments turned in
late (when student has not be been absent) are penalized 10% per day.
Due to the limited number of textbooks,
books for my class are not issued to the students.
*Shelby County School Board Textbook Policy
Statement:
Textbooks are issued to students with the
understanding that the textbooks will be properly maintained and returned at
the appointed time. Sanctions will be invoked in the event that a pupil refuses
to pay for a lost or damaged textbook at the replacement cost less reasonable
depreciation. These sanctions are intended to prohibit lost or damaged
textbooks through willful intent or neglect and include:
a.
Not allowing the student to earn course/subject credit until
restitution is made;
b.
Withholding of all grades, cards, diplomas, certificates of
progress, or transcripts until restitution is made; and
c.
Refusal to issue any additional textbooks until restitution is
made.
Nothing in this policy shall prohibit any pupil or parent
from voluntarily purchasing textbooks. (Policy 6212; T.C.A.¤49-3-310)
