3.) After School Tutoring: At times curriculum can be academically challenging for some students. As teachers, the success of the students is very important to us. In order to help each student succeed, the Navy team teachers will be available for after school tutoring on Wednesdays or by appointment. This is voluntary on the students' part, unless he/she needs extra instruction.

Also there is a new after school program called TIGER TEENS. Please contact the office or your child's advisory teacher for more information.


4.) Conference Hours: The Navy Team Conference Hours are from 9:35-10:10am. If you are needing a conference for any reason, please email myself at mrummel@willard.k12.mo.us, one of the Navy Team teachers, or call the WMS office at 742-2588 and schedule an appointment. If you are unable to meet during our conference hours, please call and we will try and work with you before or after school.

5.) Assignment Policy, Academic Honesty, and Classroom Rules: 1.   Students will be held responsible for filling out assignments in their agenda. (PARENTS need to use this as a reference to keep up with their child's school work.) Students will be required to have their agendas ALL year. As with textbooks, they will be responsible for replacing lost or damaged agendas.
2.   Students will receive a score for work turned in, complete or not.
3.   When a student is absent, he/she has three days for each day absent to complete make-up work. The absent work is due on the third day.
4.   Students will be assigned to detention if they fall behind in their work.
5.   Cheating (sharing answers, talking during testing) will result in all parties receiving a zero for that work. More detailed information on academic dishonesty is in your child's agenda on page 14.
6.   Students will come to class prepared by bringing the required materials and completed homework to class each day.
7.   Students will listen and follow directions carefully.
8.   Students will be Respectful and Responsible.
9.   Both students and parents have signed and agreed to the Technology Usage Policy. If any of the rules are not followed, the following consequences will be enforced and in extreme cases, immediate and appropriate discipline:
          a.  1st - Informal Warning: One-on-one talk with the student.
          b.  2nd - Formal Warning: Conference with Advisory Teacher about the issue in question.
          c.  3rd - Team Teacher Conference/Teacher/Student Discussion:
          d.  4th - Parent Contact
          e.  5th - The Problem Persists: Student is being sent to the Principal's office for disciplinary action. This may include a Saturday school assignment or out-of-school suspension. See Student's Agenda for details pgs 17-18.

B- = 80 - 83%
C+ = 77 - 79%
C = 74 - 76%
C- = 70 - 73%
D+ = 67 - 69%
D = 64 - 66%
D- = 60 - 63%
F = 59% and below


a.) Lab Credit: I will give a lab participation grade. This grade is determined by class participation,  behavior and composition books. I will reference the discipline records and use it to help determine what participation grade each student has earned. 

b.) Due Dates: Due dates for classwork and projects are going to vary so students really need to be working in class and paying attention to due dates. When a project is assigned, there is a due date given. It should be recorded in your students' agenda. I will also be reminding students daily of the due dates and give them a goal to reach each day during a project.

c.) Extreme Hardships: I understand that situations arise and that there are rare times of hardship. If a situation like this occurs, please contact me by phone or by email and let me know. Special arrangements can always be made for homework and projects. It is very important to me that your student succeeds and I am willing and able to accommodate the special needs during hardships.
