--------------------------------------
Is extra credit offered?
Yes....all the time. I also announce major e.c. opportunities at least 3
times a nine weeks.
--------------------------------------
How often do students find out their grades?
Every Friday( as long as the computer works) they will get their grades.
They will actually receive a printed sheet if they are making a "d" or "f".
--------------------------------------
Do you accept late work?
Occasionaly. However....never if confronted about it in front of the class.
Also....hardly ever if the student regularly goofs off. Any time work is
accepted late a range of 10 to 25 points will be taken off. Obviously there
are other scenarios like with special ed students and esl students.
--------------------------------------
Are take home tests due the next school day even if the student is excused abs
YES>>>>you can fax it drop it off or send it via friend....OTHERWISE you will
have to take a makeup befor school and you do not have as much time.
--------------------------------------
Are projects accepted late?
NO....students usually have 4-8 weeks to do a project. They can be turned
in at anytime up to the final date. Computer problems etc... are not excused.
--------------------------------------
Is there a class fee?
Yes...$3 for any History. I also accept any donations of
items like boxes of tissue, markers, etc...
--------------------------------------
Are parents allowed to come to school?
You are definitely allowed to come to school. However, if you wish to speak
to a teacher, you may not be able to without calling ahead first. Many
teachers welcome parents and will adjust their schedule to see you but
understand that sometimes we can't. Always feel free to leave e-mails or
messages. All teachers have e-mail, it is our last name-first
initial@wcshools.com-----ie....batest@wcschools.com
--------------------------------------
Do students with IEP's or considered ESL receive different grades?
Yes....BUT It is not always reflected on their papers. If the student makes
a 70 or better on their own, the grade stays. However, a student may make a
55-F and it is usually recorded differently. This is done to prevent
students from comparing grades. I also make changes at the end of a grading
period to help the student. Please stress to your child to ASK for help but
try not to wait until the last minute.
