RULES-- REGLAS

Español 1 y 2…Señora Sharkus

 

ssharkus@dallassd.com

You are expected to do the following:

 

1.        come to class every day  with a positive attitude- and SPEAK SPANISH IN CLASS every day.

 

2.        bring the text book, notebook, assignments, projects, writing utensils ( black or blue ink or pencil) and paper.

 

3.        keep a 3-ring binder  notebook, with notes, homework and handouts, organized into chapters. A daily planner is an excellent idea. Every sheet must be completed in order to earn a Notebook grade.

 

4.        take care of the text book. You are responsible for the book.  Damage will result in a fine of $ 10.00.  If the book is lost or destroyed, you will be charged  $50.00. ( the cost to replace it ) The book must be covered.

 

5.        You are expected to retain and remember all vocabulary and grammar we study. Study every day! Flash cards are an excellent method of  vocabulary study.

 

6.        make up all work, tests, quizzes and projects within two weeks, or take a zero. ( Non- compliance is a zero too.)

 

7.        realize the impact a zero has on your numerical grade.  We discussed this!

 

 

8.        exercise appropriate behavior at all times, respecting fellow students, the teacher   

                      and yourself!  Basic rules are posted in the room. This is my one and only warning.

       Violations result in disciplinary action.  Remember:

 

Ø  While Señora is talking – you are listening.  No disruptions from you.

Ø  Raise your hand to answer, and wait to be called upon.

Ø  When I call on you- no one else in the room will be talking or disrupting you.

Ø  No one will  tease, bully, mock or otherwise be rude to anyone in our classroom.

All teachers, staff and students will be respected for their talents and individuality.

                The physical classroom and all materials in it are to be respected as well. 

                Lack of cooperation results in loss of participation points ( 5 pts. per day or 25 points each week)  I do not 

                deduct these  points from your grade…but rather…YOU FAIL TO EARN THEM!!!  This can seriously affect

                your grade!

 

9.        My grading policy is one of point accumulation.  You receive grades for speaking,

listening, quizzes, tests, projects, notebook, participation, Departmental Proficiency Exam and a Final Exam.  It is well  balanced and fair, and does include opportunities for meaningful extra credit. 

       Cheating and using online translators will not be tolerated. You will receive zeros. There will be no

       make-ups for zeros. There will be unannounced graded activities or quizzes.

 

10.     Seating is determined by me. You do not have the option of selecting a seat, unless I direct you.

  

11.    The Dallas High School Handbook is our guideline. Keep your copy available for referral.

 

               12.   All information is subject to change at my discretion.

 

                                ***  THE POSSESSION AND USE OF : cell phones, ipods, head phones, CD players, cameras,  or any other devises of a similar nature are not permitted in my class. They are disruptive to the classroom environment! If I have to take any such devise away from you, it will be turned into the Main Office. I will follow up with a written Disciplinary Referral.
