Is my student allowed to work ahead in their spelling book?
Yes. If you know your student has a busy week ahead of them, they are able to take their spelling book home for the weekend and work on the next unit. Spelling pages are due Wednesdays with tests being Thursdays or Fridays (depending on the Mass and Youth Minister schedule for the week) so students are able to work one unit ahead if needed.Back to Top
How often are religion tests?
Religion units are very short and the students will be tested weekly over the unit, usually on a Friday. However, the tests are not going to be 100 points in value like a normal test. These are more like quizzes over the chapter that are geared to boost their grades along with worksheets and their current affair grades.Back to Top
What do you teach in Current Affairs?
Current Affairs is a class we have on Thursdays that gives the student a chance to read and discuss what is going on in the world today. It is a part of their Religion grade because our discussions are usually centered on our Christian background. The grades for that class consist of a 10 point weekly assignment they finish in class. Participation is a must.Back to Top
How can I contact the teacher?
For the quickest response, you can email me any time at: jamie.dedmon@stteresa.pvt.k12.il.us I check email several times a day. You can also call me at school, leave amessage, and I will return your call as soon as possible. I check voicemail once or twice a week so emailing will be much quicker. My extension is 316.Back to Top
May I bring a treat when I am Student of the Week/Birthday Week?
Yes, you may bring a treat one of those times. You need to choose whether you want to bring something when it is your birthday or when you are student of the week. Make sure you bring napkins and that the item does not need to be cut and can be passed out quickly. We will share these treats either during break or at the end of the day.Back to Top
