Psychology - Mrs. Beth Quinn
Welcome back! I hope Psychology class will be a challenge this
year. I want you to be prepared to work and participate. I respect
and appreciate hard-working students, and you will be rewarded for
your efforts.
Parents: I prefer email for communication about questions and
concerns you may have about your student. However, you may always
leave a message for me with the main office at 456-4400. On a weekly
basis, I will post tests, quizzes and assignments on
www.homeworklive.com. Both
parents and students can set up accounts; go to the website and
follow the directions. If there is a problem please contact the
Guidance Office.
CLASS RULES
- Respect for each other, teacher, school and the
classroom.
- Be ready! Be seated and ready to begin when the bell rings.
- Be prepared for class everyday. This includes textbook,
notebook, and folder.
- Follow all school policies especially appropriate uniform,
lateness, attendance, and academic honesty. AGENDA BOOKS are
necessary to leave the room!
SUPPLIES
- Covered textbooks
- Writing utensils
- Spiral notebook for class notes
- Folder for all handouts for the currents quarter's work
GRADING POLICY
All work will be graded based on grade range found in the Student
Handbook. I will hold each student accountable for his/her work and
will contact parents by phone if necessary.
 | Tests = 1/2 of grade |
| Quizzes = 1/3 of grade |
| Classwork/Homework = 1/6 of grade |
Semester projects will count as two test grades.
MAKE-UP WORK
Students are responsible for seeing me to find out what was
missed while absent!
Tests and quizzes must be made up ASAP- any announced test or
quiz is expected to be made up the day you return.
Homework - the student will be given as many days to make up HW
as he/she was absent.
Projects - will be announced; therefore will be due the day the
student returns.
LATE ASSIGNMENTS
One letter grade will be deducted for each day late from the due
date the assignment is turned in. After 3 days the grade will be an
F.
CONSEQUENCES
If you fail to follow any of the classroom procedures the
following can happen:
| Verbal warning |
| Teacher detention (I love a clean room!) |
| Referral to Ms. Saunders |
In this class I will:
| Be on time! Chronic lateness = teacher detention |
| Be respectful of teacher, classmates, and school |
| Be courteous to teacher and classmates by listening and
waiting my turn to speak by raising my hand and waiting to be
called on |
| Come to class prepared with all materials listed + my brain! |
| Complete assignments on time. |
| Do my own work -- this extends to simple worksheets as well
as Semester Projects. If found copying another's work both will
receive an F. This goes for other class's work also |
| Not do other classwork in Psychology class unless time to do
so has been granted by the teacher. |
| Use the bathroom before class. |
| Not ask to go to my locker during classtime. |
| Bring any food or drink into the classroom. I know that if I
do I will be asked to throw it away. |
| Refrain from using, peeking, or text messaging with any cell
phone. Also any use of electronics (headphones, MP3 players,
etc.) will result in a confiscation of such and held until June. |
| Have fun and participate in class!!! |
