Policies
1. Late Work: Any assignment that is turned in late will have 10% deducted from its grade for each day it is late. No assignments will be collected more than 5 days late.
2. Absences and Make-Ups: It is the student's responsibility to notify the teacher of any absences and collect any make-up work. If you have questions after obtaining your assignments, feel free to speak with me before or after class or even email me. Students will be notified of due date for make-ups when given the assignments (due dates will depend on length of assignments). For students who are in ISS/OSS, work will be due upon return without exception.
3. Retakes: Any student who received less than a 70 on a quiz or a test is welcome to a retake. Students may answer same or similar questions (depending on teacher) that are each worth half of their original value. There are no consequences for doing a retake.
Rules
Mr. Schaffer's classroom has one rule: "Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." This one class rule has three very important components:
1. Every student is responsible for him/herself.
2. Every student is responsible for his/her fellow students.
3. Every student is to humbly realize that he/she is a student.
Tutoring
Tutoring is available to all students who show a desire to learn. Tutoring sessions are held at the teacher's discretion on Mondays and Tuesdays after school, and by appointment only.
