- Attend regularly. Unnecessary absences should be avoided.
- Be on time. In class on time means the student is in his / her seat prior to the tardy bell. Your tardies negatively impact your citizenship and cheat you of valuable information about the day's studies.
- Bring your materials to every class meeting. Mandatory supplies include:
*a 3-ring binder only for English I
*2 or more pencils (#2 pencils, or mechanical pencils)
*2 or more blue or black ink pens
*a hi-liter (2 or 3 of different colors recommended).
-Contribute in a positive and meaningful way to class and online discussions, cooperative work groups. Put forth as much or even more effort to complete tasks as the others in your group. You may have to arrange to meet outside of class for projects. Be a conscientious participant. No name calling, put-downs, obscene language, irrelevant comments. Literature is subjective by nature, and you can expect to participate in differing interpretations of the works we study. It goes without saying that you will adhere to all school-wide rules regarding comportment while on campus, dress code, etc.
- Practice self-discipline and good time management skills to ensure success in this class. Plan carefully, avoid procrastination, and ask for clarification or assistance if you are unclear about an assignment. Technical difficulties can arise when one does not plan ahead. Be sure you have timely access to the Internet, resources, printers, ink, appropriate paper, etc. Extra credit is occasionally offered but should not in any way be depended upon as a way to significantly increase one's grade.
- Practice quality control when it comes to your product. Assignments must be on 8.5 X 11 paper, and not from a spiral notebook. Assignments must be neat and legible and typed . Assignments and projects must be completed in the format indicated in the directions.- Practice integrity by using only your own original work to complete assignments. Use proper MLA formatting, parenthetical citations and Works Cited pages to indicate your sources. Any copying of work, no matter how minor, will not be tolerated and will result in points lost. This includes work for classes other than mine. Rules regarding Plagiarism are that: you must acknowledge direct use of someone else's words, any words you paraphrase from any source, direct use of someone else's ideas, and material obtained through any source, including material obtained from the Internet and other databases.

- Be respectful. Show respect for peers, adults, and property and other learning materials and furniture in room.
- Be responsible. Academic honesty is required; cheating or plagiarism will not be tolerated (see above Practice Integrity). Always come on time and prepared to class.
- Be safe. No food or gum allowed in class. Bottled water are allowed. Respect others by picking up after yourself when in the classroom. Failure to do so will not be tolerated.
- Inappropriate behavior will result in consequences such as detention, removal, suspension or expulsion from the summer success program. Make the choice to be a good citizen and you will find this class is rewarding, fun and meaningful.
