ready for the new year?

Welcome!  below are policies in my classroom.  if you ever have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.  

Grading

 A couple of things you need to know about grading.  I expect work turned in when it is due.  This is your child's responsibility.  An assignment that is a day late will receive 50% of the grade.  An assignment that is more than one day late will receive a 0%.  Some students seem to have trouble with this policy.  

IN A NUTSHELL. . .

Our school morning begins at 7:40 with breakfast.  Because class begins promptly at 7:56, please make sure your child is here on time.  Students are expected to be in the room, with all of the materials they will use throughout the day  by 7:56.  

Students will be assigned a hook for their coats and bags.  Only coats, bags, and gym shoes should be left in the hall.  Please remind students to leave unnecessary items at home.  (i.e. If it is not needed in class, it is not needed in school.)

Students are allowed to have water bottles as long as the bottle contains water and are not a distraction.  

Should you visit the school during the day, please pick up a visitor’s pass at the high school office.  If you need to pick your child up during the school day, he/she must be signed out.  

We welcome visits to our classroom.  If you would like to observe, please call to schedule an appointment.

If you need to talk to me, the best time is before or after school.  Otherwise you may leave a message, and I will return your call ASAP.

Please review the student handbook with your child.
