Class Rules and Expectations:
Learning a foreign language has many rewards and can be a lot fun, but it also takes great effort. I have high expectations for all students. I expect the following:
1. Be respectful of other people, their belongings, and the classroom environment
2. Cell phone/headphone/personal electronic device use is not allowed in the classroom.
3. Use academically appropriate language
4. Respect the seating chart. Stay in the assigned seat unless instructed otherwise.
5. Assume it's for a grade.
Consequences for failing to meet expectations:
First Offense: Verbal warning
Second Offense: 100 sentence punitive assignment due by the next class period
- If the punitive assignment is not completed, a referral will be written.
Third Offense: Parent Contact
Fourth Offense: Referral
Grading Plan:
The district grading scale is as follows:
A = 90-100
B = 89-80
C = 79-70
D = 69-60
F = 59 or below
MagicSchool AI Tools for Students
This year, students will have access to MagicSchool AI, a generative AI platform built for schools that will help them learn to use the technology safely and responsibly.
With tools like ChatGPT and others being used in the professional world, it’s important that students learn how to use the technology safely. By using MagicSchool in our classes, your student will be prepared for the future of technology in the workforce.
While students use MagicSchool tools for purposes such as receiving real time feedback, getting their questions answered, generating images, and in other exciting ways, I will have access to their chats to ensure that it’s used appropriately. Rest assured, MagicSchool does not collect or train on student data.
Be sure to ask your child about how they’re using AI in the classroom and take a look at the engaging ways they’ve utilized the MagicSchool tools to enhance their learning!
For more information, go to www.magicschool.ai or reach out directly with questions.
Extra Assistance Policy:
Students who receive assistance outside of class must be demonstrating effort in the classroom, because tutoring is not a substitute for paying attention and studying. I am available before school most mornings. If our schedules conflict, please contact me to arrange a more convenient time. Please remember that the school offers afternoon tutoring and late buses for this that run Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Please let me know in advance if you plan to stay after school and need a late bus.
