Weekly communications will be sent via Infinite Campus (it will come to your email as a campus messenger email). Additionally, you can reach out to me through email (alyssa.snelson@henry.k12.ga.us) or you may message me on the remind app.
Please use Infinite Campus to monitor your student’s progress throughout the year. Grades will be updated weekly, and all graded work will be sent home in your student’s communication folder. You can find information about late/missing work below!
If your student has any late work, it is okay! There is a lot going on in a school day. Please have your student work on and turn in their late work ASAP. I do not take off for late points.
If your student was absent, please remind them to check the absent bin when they get to school and to come and ask me for their assignments. Each block has a missing work slide (you can find this slide on the Block 1, 2, or 3 Page). As students turn in work, I will strikethrough their name. Students may also find their name on the slide if they are able to redo an assignment. Please note that I will NEVER reveal anyone's grades publicly.
*REDO POLICY: Students may ONLY redo classwork assignments or quizzes. They have to score a 70 or below on an assignment to redo it. I will not accept redo work for assignments with passing grades (71-100). Tests are not permitted to be redone BUT test corrects will be offered for every test to earn 0.75 points back for each incorrect question. This will only be done in class and will be done the following Monday (Blocks 1 & 3) or Tuesday (Block 2) after the test!*
As you may know, I DO NOT assign required homework. With that being said, I do understand that sometimes students need extra practice. The HMH Practice and Homework Journal was sent home the 1st week of school. They have a page (front and back) that correspond to each lesson we cover in class. We may cover more than 1 lesson in the book at school (they build upon skills), so some weeks may have more practice available than others do. This will be updated weekly!
*Please note that there will be times when there is not homework pages for blocks 2 and 3 due to covering 6th grade standards. If you believe your student needs specific help with skills that don't have homework pages, please send me an email and I can send additional practice home with them*
