I am Coach Travieso, the liberal arts math teacher and Vanguard's Cross Country coach. Here on my website you can find course information and learn more about me and what I do as a teacher and coach. Below are some of Vanguard's general rules that are expected to be followed throughout the year.
Classroom Rules:
All students are expected to follow Vanguard school rules that are stated in the school and District handbook. In addition, the following classroom rules will be followed by all students. These rules are:
Be at the right place at the right time
Follow directions
Use appropriate language
Treat yourself, others, and property with respect
Put forth effort towards all that you do.School Tardy Policy: I expect each student to be in their seat when the bell rings. If you are not in your seat you will be marked “Tardy”.
First and Second Tardy: Verbal Warning
Third Tardy: Phone call home
Fourth Tardy+: Referral
Bathroom Policy: Students will not be allowed to use the restroom during the first 10 minutes of class. After this time, students may ask for permission to use the restroom and it is left up to the teacher’s discretions to grant permission.
All cell phones and other electronic devices are to be OFF and put away during class time, unless otherwise directed by the teacher.

A letter grade is figured based on the percentage attained. Grades are then averaged for each course. The Marion County grading system will apply as follows:
A 90-100
B 80-89
C 70-79
D 60-69
F 0-59
Classwork/ Homework- 60% of your total grade (Classwork not completed in class will become homework)
