laboratory activities.

What is the participation grade?

The participation grade is awarded to 
students for following the classroom 
guidelines, the school and county 
guidelines and for completing homework 
assignments which we go over in class.  
Students are allowed to come in 
early to check their homework or get help 
from me.  

The students earn 20 points per day for a 
5-day week, 33.3 points per day 
for a 3-day week, and 50 points per day 
for a 2-day week.

Students who do not follow the rules will 
have their points deducted for the 
day an infraction occurs.

The participation grade (20%) will help 
those students who follow the rules 
and likewise will hurt those who don't.

How can I arrange tutoring for my child?

The parent or student may contact me to 
set up a schedule with a tutor who 
is a member of the National Honor 
Society.  Tutoring is offered before or 
after school free of charge. I stay after 
shool most days and will tutor students 
as needed.

I offer private tutoring in my home for 
$50/hour.  Contact Mrs. Lewis to 
schedule.  Transportation is not provided.

Will Mrs. Lewis keep us informed of our child's progress in class?

Yes.  I send home progress reports every 
two weeks for the parents to 
inspect and sign.  The student will 
receive a quiz grade of 100 for 
returning signed progress reports within 
2 days. The parent may keep the 
reports and send a signed letter  stating 
that they have seen the report, as well.
