This contract is an agreement for all students in Mr. Lipe's classes. Each student is given a contract at the beginning of the semester.
Read the contract to familiarize yourself with class policies.
Opportunities: experience great art, learn about yourself/others, develop marketable/important skills, develop positive personal attributes.
Requirements:
1. If you are not here, you are responsible for checking the website to see what you missed and for completing anything required on time. However, if you are incapacitated (unable to read, write, think), then you have makeup time. Not being here does not exempt you from completing assignments.
2. Do what you're supposed to do when you're supposed to do it.
3. Do your part in group projects.
4. Bring your device and a charger every day.
5. Bring your questions to class and ask them. Please do not message me unless you are not able to come to school in person. In which case, schoology messages are fine.
Positive Attributes: compassion, forgiveness, industriousness, enthusiasm, open-mindedness, alertness, courage, initiative/self-motivation, focus/intentness, friendliness/amiable, honesty, self-responsibility, reliability, humility, willingness to accept criticism, punctuality, poise, loyalty, maturity, self-control, patience.
Marketable Skills: listening, reading, writing, speaking, public speaking, cooperating, project planning, leading, following, thinking, imagining, time managing, organizing.
Class Participation: every student begins every semester with 50 points for class participation. Every tardy results in a loss of 3 points; every unverified or unexcused absence results in a loss of 10 points. After the 50 points are gone, additional penalties will be taken from academic points earned in other assignments.
Grades: check them on schoology--not Tigerview.
Grading Scale: ten-point scale.
Late Work: everything is 10% off per school day for up to 5 days; then, everything is automatically worth a maximum of 50%. I will accept anything up to the end of the quarter. This includes electronic submissions.
If you have an issue, or if you do not understand something here, you need to see your counselor or me right away.
