Letter to Parents

Dear Parents:

I am very happy your son or daughter is enrolled in my class.  The courses I teach, Accounting I, Accounting II, and Principles of Business, Marketing, and Finance, are all one-year courses within the Academy of Business and Industry (B&I).   Students will have access to my lab most mornings from 8:15 to 8:55, but can also arrange for afternoon tutoring by appointment. Students will receive a progress report and a report card during each nine weeks. You may call or email me at any time to request information about your student’s grades, attendance, and behavior.

GRADING:

Daily work (60%): Will include daily assignments, assigned participation, pre-tests, warm-ups, and assigned project checkpoints.

Projects/project presentations/written tests (40%): Will include online and written tests, projects, and presentation grades.

Semester Exams (16%)

(The District Grading and Academic Integrity Policies will be followed.)

Missed tests must be made up during morning tutoring, during Flex, or by appointment. Tests and late work must be made up prior to grade reporting deadlines so that grades can be submitted on time. It is the student’s responsibility to ask Mrs. Hovenkamp for makeup work when he/she returns to class.  Most assignments can be completed for homework, but if a student needs help, he/she should arrange for tutorials.

I’ll be happy to answer any questions and look forward to another terrific school year at Westwood!

Sincerely,

Glenda Hovenkamp
