Course Description:
This is a Spanish 1 course. We use APEX for all lessons so students can work at their own pace. All assignments are required. Spoken assignments are recorded on video.
Basic Information:
This is a year long program, semester 1 and semester 2 are both required to complete the course.
With a passing grade, students earn 5 credits per semester.
The due dates for this course are designed to ensure you finish the work by the end of the semester. Our last day of access to the instruction modules and related work is 12/13. The Final Exam will be taken (In office hours) during the week of 12/ 16-19.

Behavior and communication
Behavior and communication
Both Sra. Peiper and students will use language appropriate for a professional and academic setting. This includes all written and spoken communication (e.g. email, phone, and Zoom).
While on Zoom, make sure that anything shared over microphone, video feed, or chat box on Zoom is school-appropriate.
Communicate with Sra. Peiper as soon as you know you need to (e.g. needing help with work, having a health or personal issue). If you email me I will get back to you as soon as I am able. I am teaching in person periods 1-5 so it might not be immediate. (Remember - because we are not in the same room, I can't tell if you need something unless you tell me. Strong and consistent communication is appreciated).
How are grades calculated?
How are grades calculated?
Grades are calculate based on total points earned within the Apex program.
What happens with transfer grades?
What happens with transfer grades?
Passing transfer grade (60% or greater): that grade goes in for all previous assignments, student starts with current weeks work
Non passing transfer grade (below 60%):
Use the transfer percentage to calculate equivalent number of points earned…use those points to fill in assignments in unit 1 with 60% passing scores until earned points are exhausted. The due dates on the assignment list are reset so that all of the make-up work does not all count against students at once.

Late work policy
Late work policy
Late work can still be turned in with no grade penalty (you won't lose points just for turning it in late).
However, students can be dropped from the Virtual Instruction Program for lack of progress and not maintaining grades.
Can I "redo" assignments?
Can I "redo" assignments?
Most regular class assignments can be redone and resubmitted without having to ask first. The main exception is discussion questions. They cannot be edited afterward to prevent students from trying to read other students’ answers before providing their own.
Quizzes may be retaken a second time if the student has satisfactorily completed the work up to the quiz. Tests may be retaken with the same requirements, or after having satisfactorily completed a review activity (e.g. scoring high on a practice test, completing a study guide with good answers, etc).
When students are unable to reach 60% on the first two attempts of a quiz, it is required that students submit a completed study guide for that lesson before the quiz will be unlocked for a 3rd attempt.
