understood.
BindersDue to the nature of the program, binder organization is crucial, but I encourage the development of a personal organization style.
I have suggested to your child organizing his/her binder using the following sections:
•Vocabulary & Reference – a running list of all vocab and any other reference sheets that may be used throughout the year
•Notes & Classwork – all notes and examples done in class, as well as worksheets and activity sheets
•Homework – worksheets or book assignments should be kept here for easy access
•Tests/Quizzes – keep all quizzes and tests until binder clean out (then transfer to a folder at home)
GradesAll grading will be done using a point
systemHW/Preparedness–10% (clipboard)
HW is assigned most nights. NO WORK = NO CREDIT HW is posted on board and on my website.
Tests & Quizzes – 90%, with weights assigned using the point system
Extra Credit (only included on tests and quizzes)
Planner – Should be brought to class daily. Used for HW and as a bathroom pass/log
No signatures necessary—online access to all grades
PowerSchoolI will no longer be using grade sheets or having
tests signed, unless I am requesting a LEHP. You can update yourself about your child’s
progress by logging on to PowerSchool. Homework and participation are updated weekly.Please allow adequate time (<1 week for multiple
choice/matching type assessments and 1+ week for assessments with essays or work that is counted) to grade your child’s work.
We will do our best to update and publish grades on the 15th and 30th of the month.
