41 DEMERITS AND BELOW = U (NI)
When students come to music class (and band) prepared to listen, and participate with a positive attitude, they will learn the required music concepts no matter what level of music aptitude they may have. But, when a students behavior, attitude and participation in class does not conform to music class and school rules, it disrupts the ability of the teacher to teach, and disrupts the ability of the learners to learn.
It is for these reasons that the music grades are based solely on the behavior, attitude, and active participation of the student(s) as well as the adherence of the music class rules, and also that of our schoolwide rules which include the uniform policy. These rules are to ensure a safe environment and an optimal atmosphere conducive to learning. Failure to comply with these rules will result in my issuing the student demerits. Each demerit is equal to one percentage point of their music class grades as charted on the front page graph. Grading will be strict but fair and will increase in severity per quarter. All students begin with a grade of “E” at the beginning of each quarter, and it will be up to that student to maintain their grade at that level. The parents or guardians will be notified of any drop in grade either electronically of by a note in their Tuesday Folder. Quarter 1 – In the first quarter, and mainly for new students to our school, everyone will be given warnings and will be reminded of school and class expectations. Demerits will only be given to repeat offenders. Demerits and/or Conduct Referrals will be given for any form of physical and/or verbal abuse as deemed necessary by the teacher. Quarter 2 – One demerit will be given for each infraction. A student will sometimes not be warned that they are receiving demerits if it will disrupt teaching the rest of the class. Quarters 3 and 4 - Three demerits will be issued for each infraction. Conduct Referrals will be issued to repeat offenders. By the third and fourth quarters of our school year, the students should be well aware of their expectations. Every effort will be made to help minimize the accumulation of demerits ranging from changing the seating arrangements, to isolating and/or removing the student from the class if necessary. Uniform violations are strictly enforced by me, in and outside of music class, as they are a part of both my music class rules and the school rules. Students are expected to be in the proper uniform for the entire school day. Demerits will be issued to each incident of a uniform violation, and as such will be a part of their music grade, regardless of whether they received the demerit in music class or anywhere else in school.
