Grade 6 American History Expectations
Welcome to your American History Class!
I am very excited about our year together at Lynnhaven Middle School, and
know it will be full of learning. I do have expectations in order for you to
do well. Please read over the following with your parent(s). You should
keep a copy of these classroom expectations in the front of your History
notebook throughout the year as a reference.
Grades will be comprised of the following:
* Tests
* Quizzes
* Interactive Notebook
* Participation/Homework
Interactive Notebooks:
One of our goals this year is to keep you organized. Your Interactive
Notebook should be brought to class daily.
* All work missed due to absence must be made up.
Classwork, Homework and Graded Assignments:
* Students are required to write their assignments daily in their school
planners.
* If absent, call infoline, 648-4850 EXT. 71661ยท If left in locker, it may
be brought in that day without penalty.
* Graded assignments will be lowered one letter grade for each day it is
turned in late (10 points off each day)
Late Work:
All work is expected to be complete and turned in on time. If any work is
turned in late, a 10 point penalty per day is given. If extra time is
needed, then an agreement between you, me, and your parents need to be
discussed before the due date.
If absent, work must be completed according to number of days absent (1 day
absent= 1 day late, etc.)
Progress Reports:
A student Progress Report can be accessed 24/7 throught Parent Portal. Please
contact the Guidance Department to find out how you can sign up for account
access.
The above expectations are required to succeed in our class. Failure to
follow these expectations will result in a lower grade.
I am looking forward to an exciting year. Communication is key! Please
call or e- mail me if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Kendra Merlet
