The Honor Code

On my honor, I have neither given nor received any unauthorized assistance on this assignment, quiz, test.

Ways to Raise Your Grade

1. Make corrections on your tests! For every correction you make, you can earn 1 point. Here's how:

  1. Start a new Google Doc

  2. Type your name at the top

  3. For each correction to be made --

        • Copy (Retype) the question / item you got wrong

        • Type YOUR incorrect answer

        • Type the correct answer (use a different color font)

  4. Turn it in to the same Google Classroom assignment as the Test.

2. Do the extra credit! Show you have prepared for the test by completing the study guide and turning it in to Google Classroom the DAY OF the test. Please do NOT bring in a printed study guide. Quizlets are a great way to prepare for the Vocabulary test.

Your Immediate Attention Is Required:

The Middle School Supply List requires students to use ERASABLE PENS. Students, please make sure you have the correct type of pens in your cases. If not, please make sure you replenish your supply. Please note I DO NOT ACCEPT work done in pencil. Thank You.


A few gentle reminders for all students:

    • Keep up with homework updates.

    • Wear the uniform proudly! Shirts must be tucked in. Socks MUST be the appropriate style (white, cuffed crew socks).

    • BE PREPARED! Homework MUST be done at the time it is due. Supplies MUST be with you for every class. Find a way to give yourselves visual cues or reminders so you know what books you need for which class. Practice at home.


Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

God bless,

Mrs. Kurtis
