Mr. Bishop’s Classroom Policies
- Class materials – You should come to class each day with your district-provided laptop, notebook paper and a writing utensil.
- Having index cards and a three-ring binder for class activities is strongly recommended.
- Laptops - You are responsible for bringing your fully charged district-provided laptop to class each day. If you cannot complete an assignment due to an uncharged laptop, your work will be counted as late.
- Cell Phones - Ware Shoals High School is a cell phone free school. Cell phones may be kept in your backpack or placed at the class charging station.
- Tardies – You are present when you are in your desk. If you’re not in your desk when the bell rings, you’re not on time.
- Bathroom – You may go to the restroom during time for individual or group work with a pass from Mr. Bishop.
- Absent work – You are responsible for all makeup work.
- If you are absent from class, send me an email by the day you return to school and I will respond with any missed work.
- Make-up Tests and Quizzes – You must schedule a time to take a test or quiz you have missed.
- Make-up tests must be taken before or after school and cannot be completed during class time.
- You must make up missed tests within one week of your return to school.
- Test Retakes – You may choose to retake any major assessment (20% or above) except midterm and final exams.
- Your new grade will be the average of your first grade and your “retake” grade.
- To retake a major assessment, you must complete a “Test Retake” form and have it signed by a guardian.
- “Retakes” must be completed within one week of the original assessment.
- Classroom Discipline – All violations of classroom rules or the student code of conduct will be handled according to school policy.
