Tips:

-It is considered “TOO BAD”, if you have “computer problems” and don’t get the homework done because you left the text at school.  Computer issues are not valid excuses for not getting the homework done properly and on time.  I suggest that you continue to use your texts in the traditional sense until you are comfortable with your computer.


Grading policy

Social Studies  
Mr. Towle

  • Grade breakdown:
A.  Homework            40%
B.  Quiz                        30%
C.  Test                        30%


  • Guidelines and expectations
  • If you have a question, raise your hand and ask!  
  • If you complete all your homework, you will pass!  You can not fail.
  • Homework is graded with a check, check plus, or a check minus.  This depends on effort.
  • Homework is only half credit if it is late.  (Excluding absences)
  • I am after school every day except Friday.  Stop by if you want extra help studying, especially if we have a test the next day.
  •   Text books must be covered with a paper bag.  If you don’t know how to cover a book tell me and we will take care of the book.
 (I have no idea why there are a bunch of "A"s lined up.)
