Daily Work

Assignments need to have the proper heading on them. They may be done in cursive or printing, sometimes you will have a choice, but not always. Writing must be legible and use correct punctuation and capitalization. Answers should always be written in complete sentences, unless specifically noted. Partial assignments will not be accepted.

 

Papers without a name will go into the recycle bin and receive a 0. They may be redone for half credit.   PUT YOUR NAME ON EVERYTHING!!

Agendas

Agendas need to be filled out daily. Assignments should be written down the way they are on the board. Any work not finished needs to be highlighted and completed for homework. A date due should also be written for each assignment. Agendas need to be signed daily by parents. Agendas will be checked regularly in class. By checking your child's agenda daily, you can help him/her be sure that work is completed on time.

 

Late Work

Late work will be accepted within the week it was due. Late work will be lowered 1 letter grade. Everything should be in by the beginning of school on Friday, unless special arrangements have been made. Assignments missed due to absence are not considered late, and will be given a separate due date.

 

Final Draft / Projects

Final drafts of written work, projects, and reports should be turned in in final draft form. This means that there are no grammar, spelling, or punctuation errors. Black pen should be used. Typed projects need to be done in Times New Roman, not a fancy print or one that has all capital letters, use font size 12, double space, and print in black. See website reference section or individual assignments for more specific information.

Blue Folders

Blue folders go home each Monday with corrected work, a weekly reflection, and any school wide notices. Please review the work with your child and return the folder and signed report by Friday. They go home every week, even if there isn't much in them, please your child for his/hers.

 

Webpage

The class webpage will be updated each week. It is important that students and parents get in the habit of checking it regularly. Important information about assignments and due dates will be posted there.

 

I expect my students to maintain a respectful work environment, so that all students can be productive and learn. At times, this will include appropriate levels of "working noise" and at other times, it will mean that the classroom remains quiets. Students having trouble working in an appropriate manner will be sent to the Refocus Area. There they will reflect on their behavior, and make plans for changing that behavior, so they can return to the class. If a student continues to make poor choices int he classroom, or causes a severs disruption, then he/she will be given a Misconduct Ticket. This ticket means that the student will have to stay after school for at least 30 minutes on that same day. Parents will be called and individual arrangements must be made for transportation.
