Yearbook Syllabus 2015-2016 Class Requirements and Expectations

YEARBOOK SYLLABUS 2015-2016 CLASS REQUIREMENTS AND EXPECTATIONS

Basic Objectives: Yearbook is a service organization for the school. Our job in Yearbook is to produce the Porter Middle school yearbook. Yearbook also runs a copier service for teachers. We also volunteer our time to help around campus as we can. Students are expected to work together to meet deadlines, make schedules, take pictures, design and write pages for the school publication. Students will also be ask to deliver papers, take pictures, and do other activities that will take them out of the class room. We will all also have to spend time at lunch, nutrition and after-school with some activities of the Yearbook. Students will be expected to be working on other class work when not working on their sections of the yearbook.

Classroom rules and expectations Regular attendance is important since students will have many deadlines to keep. Being late to class will affect both Cooperation and Work Habit grades. Students are expected to be on their best behavior when out of the classroom.

Grades Grading will be based upon participation in class, ability to meet weekly deadlines and cooperation with other students. Being late for a deadline will result in a lowering of grade for the week.

Homework Homework is expected the day it is due. There is no make-up on homework for Yearbook

Contacting Me If you need to get in touch with me, you can call the Main Office at 818-920-2050 and I will return your call. You can also write me a note in the agenda and I will either call you or give you a written answer. One of the ways that worked well for some parents was to e-mail me. I am very good about answering e-mail and parents find that this very convenient. My e-mail address is [email protected].

Web Site Yearbook also has a web site at which I have a place for students to get the upcoming deadlines if they are absent and will have example of projects that we are doing. You can also get copies of class rules and the class project there. Students will be able to see their progress through the district gradebook program, as soon as that becomes available. The site is www.mrworland.com.
