Grissom High School2012-2013

My room is Room #D4 Treat the room, tables, chairs, and all contents with respect. Respecting the room means cleaning up after yourself, not defacing property, and using the chairs and tables in the proper way.

Am I in the right Room?

I teach High School Essentials and Business Technology Applications this year.

I graduated from Auburn University ~ War Eagle! I am married and have 2 sons. I love technology and learning. In my opinion, Business Education is so

important, because 99% of all students will work one day. Students will use the skills learned in this course for the rest of their lives.

What will I be doing in class this year?

How will I be graded?

Tests, major labs, portfolio, and team projects will make up 60% of your grade.

Class work & other daily assignments will make up 40% of your grade.

90-100 = A80-89 = B70-79 = C60-69 = D

Most poor grades are a result of not turning in class work or homework. Therefore, it is important that you do not miss assignments for any reason. If you do miss an assignment, follow the procedure for turning in late work described later in this presentation.

I am available by request for remediation or tutoring.

What if I have a poor grade?
