Ms. Costello’s Expectations
Respect – Respect all persons, properties, and ideas
NO Cell Phones – At no time should your cell phone be in sight or heard
Off Limit Areas – My desk area and cabinets in the back are OFF limits. Do NOT sit in my desk chair or open my windows without permission. You are welcome to check out reading books and magazines from the bookshelf if you are finished with your work. You may also use my supplies on the bookshelf with permission.
Sign Out – If you are called to the nurse, the office, etc. or use the restroom or go to your locker you MUST SIGN OUT and IN on the clipboard sheet by the door and have the appropriate pass on the lanyard.
Late Work – You may turn in a late assignment for 50% of the full POTENTIAL credit 1 day after it was due. After 1-day late passes, it is worth 1 point only. (Example: Monday assignment due, but you do not have it. Tuesday it is worth 50%. Wednesday and beyond, it is worth 1 point). I will only allow extra credit (when available) to students who have AT LEAST one point in EVERY assigned grade.
*Exception MAY be given to very large assignments with MY discretion only.
Absent Work - Student handbook policy states you have ONE day for each EXCUSED day you are absent from school to turn in work without a late penalty. It is YOUR responsibility to find out what you missed and get any work you need from your class folder in the absent crate. If you are UNEXCUSED on the day an assignment is due, you may still turn it in for 50% credit the following day. You MUST participate in the class activities upon your return. (Example: Unexcused on a Monday. May submit Monday’s work (Friday’s HW) for 50% credit on Tuesday. You must also take the quiz with the class on Tuesday).
Test Make – Up – If you miss a test, or quiz, YOU must see me THE DAY you RETURN to school to set the time (and date) to make it up. You have to make it up as stated in the handbook. After that time frame, it will be a zero and will NOT be eligible to be taken. All missed tests and quizzes will be made up AFTER SCHOOL with me. *Special allowances will be made with MY discretion only.
