WHEN YOU ARE WHEN YOU ARE ABSENTABSENT

For your convenience I post ALL assignments. Go on my website from our districts WEBSITE: www.somervilleschools.org I also suggest to contact a reliable classmate.

On your return to school, also check the bins in your classroom for any possible handouts given.

If you missed any assignments or assessments because of your excused absence, you must arrange a time with me to make them up after school.

This is your responsibility and solely rests on you!!!! Work must be made up within a time equal to the time

absent. You will not be able to make -up any work if you have an

unexcused absence. You will get a “0” for those assignments.

If you are present for the explanation and review of the test and absent the day of the test you will be expected to take the test the day you return to school.

HOMEWORK HOMEWORK PROCEDUREPROCEDURE

You will be given homework everyday Mon.-Fri. Again, all assignments are posted

HW will be checked twice a week for Spanish 3, once for Spanish 4 and none for Spanish 4 Honors. (Excludes graded writing assignments) More individual responsibility is expected at higher levels.

HW is an excellent review and practice to assure understanding of advance grammar and vocabulary. It is your responsibility to ask questions to confirm understanding.

Visit PowerSchool regularly to see your progress. Meet your counselor for your private student code to log on from home.

WHEN YOU ARE WHEN YOU ARE TARDYTARDY

Quickly and quietly sit down, say “Lo siento, Profe” and do not disturb those who arrived on time or me during instruction.

It is excused only if you have a late pass from a teacher or the attendance officer.

If you are tardy without a pass 2x you will serve detention for an hour.

If you are tardy 10 minutes of the class period you will be recorded as an unexcused absence. (Read Agenda p15)

You will not be excused from any work you missed if you don’t have an excused pass. If you have an excused tardy pass please quietly ask your partner what you missed and complete it at home.
