Welcome to the

Jaguar Team!

TEAM PROCEDURES

            In order to make your learning experience as pleasant and productive as possible, each of your Jaguar Team Classes will follow the same procedures in regards to make-up work after absence from class, late work, tardies, and Jaguar Passes. 

Make-up Work

  1. When a student returns to school after an absence, he/she is required to make-up the missed work.
  2. It is the responsibility of the student to request and secure make-up material(s).
  3. The student must request the make-up work on the first day upon returning to school.

 

 

  1. Each team teacher will place make-up work in a designated area of their classroom.
  2. Please review the make-up materials first.  Then see your teacher(s) if you have any questions.

Late Work

  1. Assignments are usually due at the beginning of the period unless otherwise noted by your team teacher.
  2. When you come to class on a day an assignment is due, find your paper before class begins and be ready to turn it in at the beginning of the period.
  3. Assignments turned in after the beginning of the period are late. 
  4. All late assignments require a note from a parent, and they will be penalized 20%.
  5. All late assignments must be submitted within one week of the original deadline.  No assignment will be accepted after the one week late period. 
  6. Students who chronically submit late assignments may be subject to additional academic and/or disciplinary consequences.

 

Tardy

  1. In the Jaguar Team Classes, tardiness is defined as a failure to be in your seat when the bell first rings.
  2. To be eligible for Jaguar Team days, a student can have no more than one tardy in any team class during a six weeks grading period.  Additional disciplinary consequences for excessive tardiness can be found in your student handbook (p. 11).

Jaguar Passes

1.      Jaguar Passes will be issued at the discretion of the Jaguar Team Teachers.

2.      Students are limited to no more than three Jaguar Passes per week from Jaguar Team Teachers.

TEAM RULES

            Every well functioning family,   community, and society needs a clear set of rules to encourage each person to behave maturely and responsibly.  The Jaguar Team Classes also have rules, so that we have a pleasant, productive and safe learning place.  The rules in each Jaguar Team Classroom are:

1. Be prompt (in your seat when the bell rings)

2. Bring required materials to class

3. Treat others and their property respectfully
