Mr. Mountain’s Classroom Expectations
9th Grade Blue Team and American Life
1) Be RESPECTFUL
- Any disrespectful behavior is subject to verbal or written reprimand (i.e. warnings and detention hours). Most instances will result in a warning first and a written referral will occur if the problem persists.
- Ex: Loud and annoying behavior, excessive talking, unnecessary complaining and/or negativity, rudeness, or a general unpleasant regard towards life and any of its components.
2) Be PUNCTUAL
- That means “on time”.
- If you are late to class, you have to sign the late log. If you sign the late log 3 times in one year, any subsequent time will result in an hour of detention, AND you must sing a song of my choosing for the whole class.

3) Be PREPARED
- Come to class each day with all the materials necessary for class. Each day you will need at least your Journal, notes, YOUR AGENDA, and something to write with. I do not have many pens/pencils, and if I am out, you’re on your own.
4) DO THE WORK
- There is not a lot of homework in my class, but there will be activities that I will give you several days to accomplish. Manage your time well and do all that is required, and I will guarantee that you will pass this class. If you fail to do the required work time and time again, you significantly hurt your chances at passing.
- I give tests, I give projects, I really try not to give busy work, and sometimes I just make the work up as I go along. Treat every assignment, regardless the size or difficulty, as best as you can and you will do well in this class.
Mr. Mountain’s Grading Policy
1. Information on Grades
- Quarter grades will be determined by dividing the total earned points with the total points possible for the 9 weeks.
- Final grades will be determined by school policy
2. Information on late work
- Any assignment not turned in on time is subject to a late penalty. Generally, this penalty will be 20% of the assignments value if the assignment is turned in 1-2 days after it is due.
- Any work turned in 3 or more days late is subject to a 50% grade penalty. Once the nine weeks ends no late work will be accepted.
