*STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES are content-specific, grade level learning objectives that are measureable, focused on
growth in student learning, and aligned to curriculum standards. The purposes of the SLO exam are to:
Provide a valid measure of student achievement of the state content standards across the full achievement continuum;
Serve as the final exam for the course, contributing 20% to the students final course grade;
Provide a clear signal of the students preparedness for the next course and ultimately post-secondary endeavors (college
and careers);
Allow for detection of the progress made by each student over the course of the academic year;
Support and inform educator effectiveness measures; and
Inform state and federal accountability at the school, district, and state levels.
MASTERY LEARNING/GRADE RECOVERY POLICY (County)
A student may recover a Summative assignment provided that it was attempted when initially given. In order to recover a
Summative assignment, students must consult with their teacher to obtain the remediation assignment. This remediation
assignment may include, but is not limited to, correcting the formal assignment, completing extra assignments, attending
tutorial session(s), and homework completion. The student must obtain the remediation assignment within three days of
receiving the graded formal assignment that they wish to recover. The student must complete the recovery assignment within
a time period to be determined by their teacher. FORMATIVE assignments (homework, quizzes, etc) MAY NOT BE
RECOVERED. The original assessment grade and the recovered assessment grade will be averaged together to determine your
final grade.
ABSENCES It is very important that you be in class every day. If you are absent, you are responsible for making up missing
assignments. You must make-up all work on your own time, not class time (unless you have completed the current days
work). It is the students responsibility to arrange to come before or after school to complete any missed work. Excused
absences do not exempt you from any missed assignments.
TUTORING/MAKE UP WORK

Tuesdays at 8:00 a.m. Room 401. Additional times may be arranged in advance.

PLAGIARISM/CHEATING POLICY Cheating and/or plagiarism are regarded as very serious offenses. Copying or
paraphrasing material/text from the work of another student, from published sources (i.e.: Cliff Notes, magazines,
newspapers, etc.) and/or from the Internet without proper documentation constitutes academic theft which will result in a
zero and possibly an administrative referral.

incorporating work ethics into our curriculum so students are aware of what is expected of them in the world of work. It is
important for employees to be at work and on time every day. Employees are expected to use their time efficiently in order to
increase productivity and to improve profits. Being cooperative with the supervisor and with other employees is extremely
important. Honesty and loyalty are also an important part of work ethics. In business classes, students are expected to display
these appropriate work ethics. It is so important that each student be aware of proper business behavior.
