Assignment Policy
Daily assignments are designed for practice of concepts and a key part to the learning process. Students will have assignments daily. Assignments will be reviewed regularly, with the expectation that students review their assignments and seek additional assistance when necessary.
Late Assignments
For missing assignments/tests, a Missing(M) will be entered into the grade book until the missing work is turned in. Once the assignment is turned in complete, it would qualify for full credit as long as it is turned in prior to the 5 week cut-off for making up assignments.
Retake Policy
Retakes are allowed for all assignments and assessments except for final exams. There are time limits for all retakes. Retakes must be completed by the end of the 5th week in each quarter and then by the end of the quarter. Students will only be allowed one retake per assessment.
Student score on retake will be whichever score is higher.
Absences and the Retake Policy
When a student is absent, they have the number of days that they were absent to turn in the missing assignment or take a test. (Example: If the student is absent on Monday and Tuesday, returning to school on Wednesday, the student would have until Friday to make up missing work.) As long as the assignment/test is accomplished within the absence window, the task is considered to be "on time," the student can redo the assignment/test. Regardless of absences, the student would still need to meet the criteria for re-takes as outlined above in the retake policy.
Schoology
Schoology is a content management system that will contain classroom information, assignments, and other items used in class. Parents also have the opportunity to log-in with a parent account to see their child’s progress and grades. To access Schoology, visit dysart.schoology.com. To find out more information on how to access Schoology as a parent please visit http://bit.ly/2mG3hWR
Restroom/Pass Policy
Classes are very short and leaving the classroom for any reason disrupts the learning environment. Yet, emergencies do arise. Students will be allowed out of the classroom during NON-instructional time to use the restroom. Records of use will be kept. If a student must use the restroom excessively, please contact the teacher. Passes will NOT be allowed during the first or last 10 minutes of class.
Classroom Discipline Procedures
We believe in teaching behavior expectations, reinforcing positive behaviors, problem solving with the student, continuing building relationships, and eliciting guardian help if necessary.
In an effort to have behavior issues resolved at the lowest possible level, anytime a student violates classroom procedures (unless otherwise noted in the Student Handbook), the following actions will be taken:
Intervention 1-
Redirect student verbally or non verbally
Intervention 2-
Ask student what expectation they are not following
Reteach how to make the right choice
Document on behavior tracking form
Intervention 3-
Restorative conversation
Reteach as necessary
Document on behavior tracking form
Guardian call home
Intervention 4-
If behavior occurs again on a weekly basis, a referral will be written.
Guardian will be contacted
Teacher Contact
The fastest way for parents or students to communicate with me is by email. Email is checked often throughout the day. Parents may also leave a message on my voicemail. Messages will be returned as soon as possible.
Parent Contact
Students and parents are encouraged to check the real time grade website regularly along with the teacher page. If you are not sure of the password, please contact the front office to get the necessary information. Please take the time to make sure that all contact information provided to the school or teacher is updated.
