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
