This document outlines the policies and procedures for Mrs. Leshe's class. It includes 3 steps for success: participate and take notes, print PowerPoints from Edline, and ask questions. Students are expected to complete homework assignments and study for tests by reviewing class notes daily. The participation grade makes up 100 points of a student's grade each six weeks and can be lowered by coming to class unprepared or minor infractions. Tests, projects, homework, quizzes, and bonus assignments make up the rest of the grading. Students must follow classroom rules including being prepared, on time, speaking respectfully, and completing all work.
