Resource Room Daily Participation Rubric
Each student will earn a weekly grade based off of the daily participation rubric.
This course is structured so that you can accomplish all of the required work during class sessions.
But things always come up, from absences to illness to just needing extra time. Since your final grade is based on participation, students may see me for a make up assignment that will replace their participation grade for the day(s) that they missed class due to a legal absence.
Ellenville Central School District - Student Code of Conduct
IMPORTANT: I will keep in contact with other teachers about what work needs to be completed. With that being said, students are responsible for using their time wisely. Resource room is a place where students are to receive direct, specialized supplementary instruction. It is not a study hall.
I am available most days to provide extra help to students. Please make arrangements with me before staying after school.
