Expectations for Class

Just so everyone is on the same page, I expect students to come to class every day with the following:
1. Correct school attire worn properly
2. Agenda/Planner
3. Pen or Pencil
4. Lined paper

I conduct random checks on materials, uniform, and whether a person is using his/her planner. What I mean by using the planner is a student enters assignments from ALL classes on the planner each day. If a student does not have a particular assignment for a class, he/she can write NONE next to the class name.

There are definite reasons for doing this. Right now less than 40% of students are submitting assignments on time. Additionally over a third of students in class do not bring items like a pen or pencil and paper to class. For those who manage themselves and come to class prepared, then the checks are easy grades. If you do not bring stuff to class, this could really hurt your grade.
