Expectations
Be Respectful !
Be respectful of everyone's ideas and abilities.
Be Responsible!
Come to class prepared with all necessary materials.
Every day you will need your Chromebook, pencil, book to read, and your reading binder.
●Pay attention in class and use your time wisely.
●Set high standards for yourself as a reader and writer.
●If you are absent, it is your responsibility to talk with your teacher to make up missed work.
Be Safe!
Generally, there will not be ELA homework. You will need to study for the Greek and Latin Root Word quizzes, and if you were not able to complete work in class you may need to bring it home to finish.
Grades will be updated weekly in Infinite Campus. Assignment due dates and quiz dates can be found on the calendar. Assignments will be posted in Google Classroom.
