Welcome to Mr. Pfaff's web page. This is my 9th year at NL, and 12th year teaching overall. I'm also the advisor for National Honor Society. I graduated from New Lisbon in 1997 and from UW-River Falls in 2001. I live in the New Lisbon district with my wife and 4 kids.
My 2nd semester classes are: 1st Block US History 2, 2nd Block Prep, 3a US History 2, 3b Economics and 4th Block Geography. On this site you will find the assignments for each day, upcoming quizzes and due dates. My extension is 1313, or please e-mail me at jeremiah_pfaff@newlisbon.k12.wi.us for further information.

Guidelines and Expectations
1. Do your work. Late work is ½ off. All quizzes must be made up ASAP before school or during ELT. After a week, you will get a zero. Homework must be brought to class and complete when I collect it to be on time. Only use a pencil or a blue or black pen.
2. Come to class. Unexcused absences or truants mean a zero on everything missed. When you are absent, find out what you missed before school not in the middle of class.
3. Be respectful. Raise your hand. Don’t backtalk and argue. Watch your language. Leave other students alone. Be in your seat when class starts. Removal from class means a zero on all grades for that day.
