Students should come to class each day with:
Folder
Sharpened Pencils and erasers/ pens
Agenda Book
Chromebook
Earbuds
Homework will be assigned regularly Monday through Thursday. Homework will occasionally be assigned on Fridays as well.
Students will always be given time to copy their homework in class but I will also try to have the homework on the classroom calendar that can be found on the white team and this website.
Late homework will result in substantial credit being lost therefore it is important that students complete and bring/turn in their homework to class on the day it is due. Once assignments have been gone over in class they can not be made up for partial credit.
All grades can be accessed through the parent portal. Grades will not be posted until all classes are able to have the assignment returned to them. Please wait for the assignment to be returned before asking about a grade seen on the portal.
The final quarter grade is comprised of
80% tests, quizzes, projects and graded classwork
20% homework
If you receive a weekly Google Classroom report it is very important that you know the following information: I assign more work then we can do for each section. That way students who want to do more or need to practice a skill have material available. If a document does not have a due date assigned to it, it is either extra or something that will be completed in class together. Therefore, even if classroom says these documents are missing as long as they do not have a due date or specific instructions attached to it, you should not require your child to complete every document that I assign.
We will be starting our first unit; Early Man on Monday. We will have a quiz on Early Man sometime early the following week.
Extra help will be given most days at the beginning of sixth period. I am available most days but if a student asks me beforehand we can make sure that extra help is available.
