Mr. Gorcoff

Syllabus/2024-2025

*Behavioral Expectations-

In a word, Respect. We all respect one another in class.

Be on time, give all that you have, and don’t be difficult to be around.

Write legibly, speak clearly, communicate in such a way as to be understood.

*Preparedness-

Bring your charged chromebook to all classes.

*Absences-

When you return from being absent check with Mr. Gorcoff or Miss Monte about what you missed. Many assignments will also be in Google Classroom.

*Phones, ear buds, restroom and food/drink-

Phones are to be turned off and not used unless permission for a task is permitted. Ear buds are not allowed unless otherwise stated. No food is allowed and only water to drink. Hydration is our friend.

*Restroom- visits are for seven minutes or less; sign out and back in using the 5 Star system/chromebook.

*Homework-

There should be sufficient time in class to do all assigned work. An exception in the Weekly Writing Assignment (WWA) for Edge classes.

*Extra Credit-

Available on occasion when the majority of your assignments have been completed and turned in.

*Late Work-

Late work is accepted up until the last day of the 1st & 3rd Quarters and one full week before the end of each semester. 

*Cheating is unacceptable. Ask for help when you are confused or otherwise have a problem that needs addressed.
