Contact
The easiest and quickest way to answer all inquiries during the school year about student progress, curriculum, and general questions is through email. My email is [email protected]. Please feel free to email me at any time with any questions throughout the school year. My website http://mrbrunn.weebly.com/index.html is also a great resource for classroom information.
Assignment protocol and grades
All assignments and notebooks checks are to be turned in during the period they are due. Assignments and notebooks will be dropped one letter grade every day late up to two days before a zero grade is awarded. If a student is absent, they have three days to complete missed assignments including tests and quizzes. For example, if you are absent on a scheduled Thursday test/quiz you will have until Tuesday to complete that test. Students must set up appointment with me to make up the test/quiz. Appointments can be scheduled before school only. Students who do not meet timeline will receive a zero for the assignment, quiz or test that was not made up. The weighted grade scale will be as follows:
Tests/Quizzes 60% classwork 30% and Final 10%
Grade Scale: 100-90% A 89-80% B 79-70% C 69-60% D 59-0% F
