Classroom Expectations
Student Supplies At all times, students should have:
LAPTOP-- It should be CHARGED. Students can also have their charger, but outlets are limited. We have electronic textbooks, so this is essential for student success.
EARBUDS
The ability to RECORD on their device (internal or external microphone).
NOTEBOOK, PEN/PENCIL, FOLDER
Behavior Expectations Students will:
Respect the people in the classroom and their property
Come to class with the necessary supplies
Complete homework on time
Be in class on time
Follow the rules of the student handbook. Consequences for violating these expectations include: Warnings, student/teacher conferences, phone calls or e-mails to parents, detention with the teacher, and formal discipline referrals.
Do one’s own work. Copying homework, getting answers from another, using a translator, and other forms of cheating will result in 0’s for the work that is not your own.
Grading The grade will be based on a point system and a letter grade will be assigned according to the SHS grade scale. The following will be considered to assess student achievement: assessments, verbal presentations, written assignments, and homework.
“Textbooks” Your student will NOT have an actual book to bring home. Our textbook is online and can be accessed anywhere internet is available. Students will be submitting the majority their homework electronically on www.vhlcentral.com

How to succeed in Spanish...
The key to learning a foreign language is to memorize vocabulary. The best way to practice is with flashcards or to use the online practice activities. Students should practice their vocabulary for a minimum of 5 minutes each day, whether assigned or not. If students know the words, using them becomes very easy. I am available at 7:30 am each day and can stay later most days. Students are always welcome to come in and get one on one help.
