MR. HUSTON – SOCIAL STUDIES

CLASS EXPECTATIONS

You are in high school (the big leagues) and you will be expected to act accordingly to this. Any issues during class will result with a warning (name on board) and then after any/all check marks after your name will result in 15 minute detention. More than 2 and you will more than likely be referred to the office. (Extremely poor behavior/decisions and name and checks will be skipped)

PLEASE BRING TO CLASS EACH DAY:

Lined paper in or out of a notebook, pens/pencils, highlighter, and your 3 ring binder/notebook. Binder checks the day before or day of quizzes will be your homework grade for that chapter.

GRADES/ASSIGNMENTS:

We will have notes/in class work, test/quizzes, and projects/creations this year that will make up your grade.  You are allowed to retake a test if you fail it and I will count the new score averaged with the 1st test……the highest you are allowed to receive on a quiz you retake is a 60%. Test points will be around 2X that of homework and notes. The window to retake a quiz ends after we take the next quiz.
