English I
Dear Parents and Students,
Happy New Year! I am glad to be back. I took a semester off because I had
a baby. I kept in touch with the teachers, and I have heard such wonderful
things about the freshman class, so I am honored to teach them. I am
sending this letter to make you aware of my policies and procedures; some
policies and procedures are for the team, and some are my individual polices
and procedures.

Late work
I DO NOT accept late work. If the student doesn’t have it when it
is due, then he/she doesn’t turn it in.
Absent work
If you have an excused absence, then you may make up the work. On my desk,
I have a folder entitled “Make-up Work”. It is the student’s responsibility
to get the folder and write down his/her make-up work. The student has five
days to turn in the missed work into the tray located on my desk. After the
5th day, the grade is a zero.
Major assignments/projects
All major assignments/projects that the due dates were set far in advance
are due on that date. If the student is absent, the work needs to be
dropped off to me by 2:40 PM.
Grading Scale
Most assignments are worth 100 points with the exception of essays and
projects. Essays are worth 200 points and projects are worth up to 300
points.
