Civics is the study of the rights and duties of citizens. In this course we will be examining the
roots of our government and our place as citizens in it. Economics involves how individuals and societies
make choices in allocating the resources they have. We will also explore individual financial literacy.

Supplies are located by the window at the front of the room. You may get up and get a pencil,
tissue, etc. without asking (as long as I am not actively directing the class). You should get your
supplies without talking to other students and return to your seat in a timely manner.
If I need to use the bathroom:
School policy does not allow students to leave the room the first and last 15 minutes of class.
Students will receive three bathroom passes each quarter. Use them wisely.
At the end of class:
Do not pack your things up when there are a few minutes leftits rude! I teach from bell to bell!
Please return items to the bookshelves and the supply station when I ask you to. You are
responsible for putting away any materials you have borrowed and picking up any trash that is
around youeven if it isnt yours.
Extra Credit
Opportunities to earn extra points will be available throughout the semester. These bonus points
will help a student who slips on an assignment or two. Students should not rely on bonus
points to bail them out if they routinely do not complete assignments.
