Website:
A website has been created (http://www.lemleyike.com/), to help keep parents and students informed on what is going on in class. Many things will be posted and used during the semester from this website. Please go to the website given and bookmark it, so that you can use it often.
Grading
Grades will be based on a cumulative point system. Homework assignments are weighted the same as tests. Consequently, both homework and tests will play an important role in your overall grade. All homework assignments will normally be submitted for a grade prior to each unit test. The Eisenhower Social Studies department will implement and emphasize reading and writing skills as part of each course
Student Responsibilities:
1. Be prepared for class each and every day: book, binder, writing utensil, positive attitude.
2. Keep a dedicated BINDER, prepared according to class instruction.
3. All assignments are to be turned in on the due date.
4. Take all scheduled tests.
5. Work to improve the class by personal participation.
6. Passes will be granted ONLY with your agenda.
7. Electronic devices must be turned off and put away at the beginning of each class.
8. Treat guests, teachers, substitutes, fellow students, and others with respect.
