Homework policy:
Homework is an integral part of learning. Especially in language learning; the more practice you get, the better you will become in the language! Therefore, you should expect to receive homework most days. Homework will be posted in Google classroom and weekly on my website. All homework assignments and materials will be distributed to students at the end of class and/or will be posted on Google Classroom.
Homework is expected to be completed to the best of the student’s ability, prior to the start of the next class period. When reviewing homework during class, it is expected that students correct mistakes when necessary. I will instruct when and how to submit homework assignments. Incomplete homework assignments will receive partial credit. Late homework will be accepted for half credit if turned in the next day. Students cannot turn in homework several weeks later; Late work that is turned in more than 5 school days after a due date will not be accepted for credit (due dates may vary depending on absences). Students who are out for extended periods of teime due to absence or family reasons should see me to develop a plan for owed work. The purpose of homework is to practice and review what was taught in class; not just for completion. Please schedule an appointment to meet with me or see me during intervention if you have any questions about the homework, I am always available!
Make-up Work: Students who are absent from class are expected to make-up all schoolwork. Check Google Classroom for all work assigned and/or come see me either before or after class to discuss what you missed. Students have one day for each excused absence to make-up the assignment. For example, if student is absent one day this student would have one day to make-up the assignment. Teacher will determine deadline of assignments if student is absent for 3 days or longer.
If you miss a quiz or test, you will need to make arrangements with me for a make-up. A zero will be entered until the test or quiz is made up. Please, make it your responsibility to speak with me and if you have any questions or concerns don’t hesitate to contact me at any time.
Retake Policy: If a student scores below a 70% on a quiz, they will have the opportunity to retake it in order to improve their overall understanding and grade. Prior to retaking a quiz, students are required to come see me to review their prior quiz and gain an understanding of how to best prepare themselves for the retake. The original quiz grade will be averaged out with the retake score and this average will replace the students score in PowerSchool. Students will not have the opportunity to re-do culminating assessments (like projects).
Grading Criteria:
Homework: 10%
Classwork: 10%
Assessments: 80%
Total = 100%
*Please note that a minimum of a C- (70) is required to move to Spanish 8. Summer packet will be provided and required to be completed if minimum grade is not achieved.
Extra Help: Please let me know if you have any questions or need any help. I am available during 8th period intervention. You may also email me with any of your questions or concerns. I will respond to you within 24 hours.
