Notes from 5.16.12 Meeting in blue

Respectful and Responsible Rising Sun Student: Curt suggested we find out what RSMS and CHMS use and try to incorporate their matrices. Steve is working on this. ‍L.E.A.R.N. as a "motto ‍"—__L__isten, __E__ncourage, __A__chieve, __R__espect others, __N__ever give up I believe we decided to use this. Do we want to put it up in each room?

Materials: We decided to offer these materials at Freshman Orientation at cost. We will post the materials list on the school website and explain what we are doing.
 * notebooks, paper, etc.--put out a materials list; offer for those who don't have it; dividers needed;
 * graded/organizational grade— what weight? How often? Rubric?
 * sections of notebook— up to teacher
 * Prepare back to school list of supplies for freshman academy students . 4 notebooks of different colors, lined paper, dividers (some will use, some won’t), colored pencils, highlighter. Calculator is optional TI 84+, markers (what kind? How many?)
 * Unit organizers/Kudos

Assignments:
 * amount of homework assignments per night— we agreed that we will discuss this at weekly meetings to ensure students have some homework, but are not overwhelmed. We agreed that homework is important, and we should expect students to do it.
 * long term project in each class— Will have a calendar for long term projects, tests and quizzes so we don’t overlap.
 * tests/quizzes

Grading:
 * Power School--how are assignments enteredWeights - 3 highest Test, 2 highest quiz, 1 other-- agreed
 * tests/quizzes
 * zeroes aren't permitted (summative)— new grading policies will address this, late work, and retakes. We will need to wait until the policy is adopted. More on this on June 11.
 * late work
 * retake policy - after school or Saturday School
 * test/quiz make up
 * 55% as lowest grade if something is turned in. 50% lowest grade if nothing is turned in. Decided not to do this
 * 110?

Classroom Policies
 * Hall Passes/Sign out/# per marking period – two per marking period per class. Will hold students to using planner as hall pass.
 * Restroom
 * MIR/Office Referral/PBIS— Will not be doing PBIS but will look for ways to reward positive behavior
 * General Classroom Rules / Policies
 * Late to class (no bells might make this difficult- how do we manage this?)
 * Accountability Station- absent/make up work for students. How will we set this up? What are the procedures for getting work?
