Class Expectations 1. You must come, each day, prepared with class materials.
2. Self-control and respect is expected at all times.
3. NO LATE WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED.
4. If you are absent it is YOUR responsibility to collect missed work. For each day you are absent, you will receive a one-day grace period.
IMPORTANT: If you are in school, but will not be in class due to a sport, dance, or other school activities, you are still expected to hand in work that is due and will not receive a grace period.
5. Neat work is expected with all assignments and notebook.
Cell Phone Policy
It is Bishop McNamara’s rule that cell phones are not permitted on while in school. Cell phone must remain off during school hours. If there is an emergency and you need to get in touch with your family, or vice versa, you must ask me for permission of usage or go to the Main Office. (Information can be found in Handbook, pg. 22)
If you are caught using your cell phone, including TEXT MESSAGING, I will collect your phone and direct you to the Disciplinary Office.
Honor Code
At Bishop McNamara all students must abide by the Honor Oath. I do not anticipate there will be a problem of disobeying this code, however if you decide to use a classmates or another’s work, as your own, you will receive a zero and be written up to the Honor Council. This includes individuals who participate in giving out their completed work.
Materials Needed
- Textbook: Psychology in Everyday Life 3rd edition (Myers and DeWall)
- 1.5 inch binder
- 4 dividers labeled: notes, homework, handouts, and assessments
(You may use a spiral notebook for note-taking if you prefer rather than separate loose-leaf.)
- pens (Pencils will not be accepted on assessments or work turned in.)
