Team ATTITUDE students typically have 3 of the same teachers:  Ms. Fernandez for English, Ms. Blevins for World History, and Mrs. Reed for Science.  If you are absent or have a question about your work (especially after 3:30 p.m.), contacting a team classmate can be helpful for the three team classes. 

All work is started in class and any portion you do not finish during class becomes your 'homework' and is due the next school day.  During class, you are to look at the board for "Write in your planner: ____" and copy what is written for the day so you know what work needs to be finished after school or at home.  Each day (Monday, Tuesday, Wed, etc.) will be available on the board for you to copy so you can check your planner easily after school.

If class time is used wisely, work can often be finished by the end of class or with an average 5-10 minutes of homework time.  

When work is finished, you should take time to check that you completely finished and answered all questions. Unfinished work is marked incomplete since it is not completely finished. Quality answers will better prepare you for assessments.  

Parents:  Ask to see your student's work.  Work will sometimes be on paper and sometimes electronic in Google Classroom (ask your student to open Google Classroom and show you the work).  A quick glance for completeness and quality answers is a great way that you can encourage and reinforce the importance of finishing a job.

The best time to ask a question about your daily work is during class that day while you are doing your work.  The next best time is right after school before you leave campus that day.  You can also contact a teammate after school for a question.  

If you have a question about your score, pay attention to any circles or comments on your paper to help you understand if you got an answer incorrect or need to write a more complete answer.  You can also ask during class (if the teacher is not doing direct teaching and is available) or after school.

The best time to ask a question is during class or after school as I am there from 2:35-3:30 p.m. (unless I have a meeting).  You can also send an email question from 2:35 - 3:30 p.m.  Emails sent after 3:30 p.m. will not be seen by me until the next school day.  Students, please send emails through Google Classroom, People tab. 

Parents:  Note that all teacher emails can be accessed by clicking on the  Placerita website.  My email is  hreed@hartdistrict.org

The Placerita Library is a great place to go to do your work. Many days the library will be open during lunch and after school  2:35-3:15 p.m.  Besides books to check out, there are also textbooks available to use, tables to spread out and do your work, and computers for work and/or checking grades on Infinite Campus. 

Doing work is important to learn and/or reinforce the science concepts so you need to complete your work daily.  Work is due by the day of a quiz or test. Work will NOT be accepted AFTER a quiz or test assessment. 

Infinite Campus is the grade program that shows your overall grades for all your classes. Don't just look at the overall grade or just what is listed on your home IC screen. Click on a class Term Grade to see the details of the grade.  When you click on 'Science 7', you will see two categories (Work and Tests) where your earned points have been entered. Click the plus sign for both Work and Tests to see the details.  Both work and tests count toward your overall grade. Here is what grades reflect:

A = above average, excellent 

B = above average, good

C = average

D = below average, need to complete more work and study more for tests

F = far below average, failing the class, need to complete more work and study more for tests

Your work and tests will be posted in the grade program Infinite Campus Portal after I have taken the time to check, grade, record, and enter your earned points.  I update grades typically 1 to 2 times per week.  You should also check 1 to 2 times per week. 

When you are in your school google account, Infinite Campus (IC) can easily be accessed using the waffle and scrolling all the way down to Infinite Campus.  You can also access IC a computer and going to the Placerita website or by clicking these links:  IC Student   IC Parent.  Students click the "Sign In with Google" button to login.  You can also check IC by using the Campus Portal app. There is a student app and a parent app (the only difference is the menu/tab order).  Type in for the school district "William S Hart" (no period, no other words).
