I'm Coach Allison and Welcome to US History II.
 
I’m a graduate of Lubbock Christian University, and that is where I met my wife Kimberly Cavasos Allison. We have been married 39 years. We started my teaching/coaching career in Spur Texas, and we had coaching stops in Pampa, Clarendon, Abernathy, Meadow, Lubbock-Cooper, Tahoka, and now Frenship.
 
I have been in education 38 years and have coached at every classification from 1A to 6A. I have been an AD head football coach, a defensive coordinator, an offensive coordinator, head track coach, and an assistant basketball coach.

      2024-2025 COARSE SYLLABUS

Information: Room 1510 Email [email protected] Phone:806-866-4440 

Conference: 2nd period 9:51-10:36 

Expectations:                 

This is an EOC-tested subject, and much work is needed to prepare you for the test. The Test will be earlier than normal this year and time is short to get everything taught. We will have a grade every day and you must be here to pass the test. There will be some form of test prep daily.  We cannot waste time and there must be a sense of urgency.  There will never be a free day. You will have to do some things on your time, so try not to make it a lot. 

Basic Rules-                 To meet expectations the following rules must be followed. 

  • Be on time- Campus Tardy Policy will apply. 
  • Be prepared and bring all class materials with you every day. I will not provide for you. Bring to class everyday pens, paper, folders, and handouts that I give you.  
  • Turn your work in on time. Lost handouts are not free. 
  • Be polite, patient, and respectful to yourself and others always. 
  • Be on task and pay attention, follow directions, and ask questions. 
  • To keep the class flowing at a rapid pace I will have to control the lines of communication in class so that we can hear what is being said by me and others in an orderly manner by raising your hand. 
  • All school rules will apply: No cell phones, headphones/earbuds, food or drink, hoods off your head, be in dress code. Do not allow rest room trips to be come and issue.  Do not put your head on your desk.  
  • If there is anything that I can help you with don’t hesitate to ask. 

Materials & Supplies- The following things should be brought to class everyday no acceptations: 

  • 3 Red, 3 Black, 3 Blue pens. All written work must be in ink NOT pencil. 
  • 6 Pocket Folders for US II only- having your work organized makes it easier to keep up with.  
  • Bring notebook paper in a 3-ring binder. I would have 4 packs for the year. 
  • Box of Tissue-  

Grades- There will be 10 or more grades each six weeks.  

  • Two or more grades will be a summative assessment worth 40% of the grade.  
  • 60% of the grade will be daily formative assessments. 
  • Check Skyward weekly for grades. Parents will be contacted at 3 weeks if failing.  
  • Students can request a redo/retest after being notified of grade but will have to do remediation / reteaching and completed in a reasonable amount time after being notified. The student is responsible for making the request by the next class. Any repeat pattern of abuse of policy may include intervention and/or consequences. 
  • Any questions on grading policy check Frenship Student Handbook. 

 

Make-up & Late Work-  

  • For every school day absent, the student has two class days for completion of missed assignments. Work assigned before absence is due on the day of return.  Students in school sponsored activities should gather assignments prior to the activity. Absences policy applies to those students as well. 
  • Late Work- for every school day that an assignment is late, a 10%-point deduction will be applied and forfeit their opportunity to redo assignment for full credit. Students may be asked to complete remediation steps to turn the work in after the deadline. A repeat pattern of late work may include intervention and/or consequences.  
  • More than 3 missing assignments in a six-week period, may be assigned D-Hall until assignments are complete and/or be given a discipline referral.
