Absent Students: Please open the Weekly Agenda slideshow and click to the day(s) you missed to find your make-up assignment(s). I will upload the assignment into Google Classroom." Please locate the assignment in the correct week and complete the make-up work. If it is a paper assignment, you can either print it at home or locate it upon your return in the Extra Papers File in the classroom. If you have checked the weekly/daily agenda and need clarification on the make-up work, please contact me through Parent Square.
All students are expected to adhere to Les Bois Junior High's behavior policy and support our school's Blazer BOLD values. We establish classroom expectations together the first week regarding acceptable/expected behaviors. If a student is acting in a way that is distracting to classmates or not conducive to a productive learning environment, I will address the problem with them at an appropriate time. If the behavior does not stop, I will make a parent/guardian contact, and they may be required to serve a detention and/or complete a verbal or written apology. If the unexpected behavior persists, the student will be sent to the office.
Student work will be assessed on a 4-point scale:
4=Achieving, 3=Progressing, 2=Beginning, 1=Incomplete/Insufficent Evidence, 0=Missing.
Students should have sufficient time during class to complete most of their work.
Reminder: Assignment/Assessment corrections/reassessments/revisions must be completed by the deadline posted in Infinite Campus (IC). If a date is not posted, then completed work should be handed in within five days from when the assignment was given.
Students should bring a writing utensil, highlighter, 3-ring binder, and composition notebook to class each day. Unit work folders will be stored in the classroom cabinet and can sometimes be taken home as a study aid. There will be some days I require them to be left at school for grading certain assessments.
Students should bring their charged Chromebook daily. While we won't use the devices every day, they should be stowed under the table in case they are needed,
Boise School District aims to prepare students for success in the world of the future, and this includes preparing them to be literate in the ever-changing area of technology. Students are issued a Chromebook as a learning tool in the classroom and at home. If a student needs to take their device home to complete assignments, they should be sure to bring it back to school the following day, charged and ready for school use. We will be using a variety of programs and apps throughout the year; I will clearly communicate my expectations for student opportunities and responsibilities regarding device use in the classroom. It is expected that students will only open the apps and pages needed in class to avoid distractions. Games, music sites, and apps that are not teacher-directed are not permitted by Les Bois Junior High. Thank you, parents, for your support in encouraging safe and responsible use of technology at school and home!
It is expected that students leave personal devices safely stowed and silenced in backpacks, to avoid theft and inappropriate distractions. Students are responsible for their own devices at school.
“PEDs [personal electronic devices] must be turned off and stored in lockers during school hours.”
“...PEDs include non-district-issued …mobile phones, smartwatches, … e-readers, earbuds/headphones….”
“...students are permitted to wear [smartwatches] during the school day; however, they must remain in “do not disturb” or “silent mode”....”
Exceptions/accommodations for PED use may apply for certain students.
School policy will guide in dealing with violation of PED use.
