In Person Students

Students

    As a high school student, expectations and student responsibilities are different than those of students in middle school.  As you move up through the grade levels, expectations and student responsibilities continue to change.  Part of my job is to help you navigate these.

    I expect great things from each student that enters my class. You may be wondering what that looks like. When you arrive to class on time, I expect you to have all necessary materials with you, that includes a charged Chrome book. You will be responsible for keeping up with your assignments and grades in order to achieve success in all your mainstream classes. You will need to learn to manage your priorities as well. As you may or may not know, JL Mann is a Bring Your Own Device school. However, that does not mean you will have your phone/device out in class...unless I have given you permission to use it for educational purposes only. The school's BYOD policy will be followed in all school settings, including my class.

Most JL Mann High School classes will be graded using a percentage system.

  There are 2 categories of grades:  Minor and Major.

Minor Grades - These are 40% of students grades

The goal of minor grades is to monitor student learning to provide ongoing feedback that can be used by instructors to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning.

Major Grades - These are 60% of students grades

The goal of major grades is to evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional unit by comparing it against some standard or benchmark.               

School Grading Scale:

                    A: 90-100 B: 80-89 C: 70-79 D: 60-69 F: 59 and below
