Hello and welcome to schoolnotes for Kerns- Intro to Business. Following is the text of the syllabus that was distributed to students and reviewed on January 15, 2008.
Dear Student:
Please read this letter carefully, then share it with your parent(s)/guardian(s) and ask them to sign the tear off at the bottom of this page to indicate that they have read this. If you or your parent(s)/guardian(s) have questions, please ask for clarification right away.
Our goal is to help you learn as much as possible in this course. In this class, you will develop skills in written communication. You will learn to work as a member of a team, and I especially hope you will learn how to be a life-long learner. In order for maximum progress to occur, rules and procedures are necessary. Your cooperation and active participation in the classroom is essential. Below is information you need to know to make the class run smoothly.
Academic work details:
1. There are several components which make up the 9 weeks grade:
Final exam (at the end of each quarter) is 10 % of semester grade.
(Extra credit will be assigned at teacherˇ¦s discretion e.g. team challenges, the return of this syllabus or other signed forms, special optional assignments, etc.)
2. Bring a notebook (3-ring binder preferred), agenda book, dark blue or black pen and pencil to class EVERY DAY.
3. Label all papers with your name, date, and the class period.
4. Be neat in all of your work.
5. Choose a classmate you can call for assignments and information when you are absent. I will be happy to stay after school with you to make up work.
6. Make up tests must be taken within five days of your return to school from an absence. Zeroes will be assigned if tests are not made up within five days.
Proper classroom behavior is essential to an effective learning environment. All school rules apply in the classroom. Check your agenda for school rules. Remember three rules: 1. BE ON TIME. 2. BE PREPARED 3. BE RESPECTFUL
Discipline details:
1. Be on time and in assigned seat when the bell rings. ( See tardy policy) No pencils sharpened after bell. Pay attention and follow directions.
2. Unless instructed otherwise, you should be quiet and listen in class whether the teacher is talking or a classmate is addressing the group. No talking when someone else is talking. Raise your hand to be recognized before speaking.
3. We work from bell to bell. If you finish ahead of time, you may read (bring a book) or work on other assignments. THERE WILL BE NO SLEEPING IN CLASS.
4. NO DRINKING ALLOWED. Our lab is full of expensive equipment.
5. There will be many times when you will be asked to answer questions, discuss an idea, and work in-groups or pairs. Always participate willingly and with a positive attitude.
6. Do not leave your seat until teacher dismisses you. Observe ˇ§chair ruleˇ¨.
7. NO INTERNET USE UNLESS INSTRUCTED /GIVEN PERMISSION BY TEACHER and contract must be signed by student and parent and on file.
8. Use restroom during class changes. Students will be released from class on an emergency basis only.
9. Treat everyone with respect. No ˇ§put-downsˇ¨ or slang words, which have a negative meaning, such as ˇ§shut upˇ¨; ˇ§stupidˇ¨, etc., are allowed.
CONSEQUENCES:
1. First offense ˇV warning
2. Second offense ˇV after school detention for 30 minutes the following day
3. Third offense ˇV note home and 30 minutes after school the following day
4. Students who do not stay for detention will be given principalˇ¦s detention
5. Fourth offense ˇV parent-teacher conference and demerits as defined in the handbook.
6. Future offenses will result in demerits. (All rules listed in agenda books are applicable in addition to the above.)
I hope this information is helpful to your understanding the importance of keeping our classroom a safe and inviting place to learn. I enjoy teaching, and I hope you will find the information and skills I teach beneficial. Any time you have questions or need to discuss a problem, please see me to arrange a time we can meet. It is my desire that all ideas and opinions will be treated with respect so that you will feel free to share your thoughts with everyone in an appropriate way. We can have a great class if we create a positive learning atmosphere.
I look forward to working with you. If you need to call me, my number is 582-3479 EXT. 4105 and email is: kernscm@spart6.org my planning period is period one, daily. Please go to: www.schoolnotes.com zip code 29376, KERNS for all assignments.
