Classroom Expectations

Year 2024-2025

 

Dear students and parents,

 

Welcome to the new school year!

I am so excited to have your children as my students in my classroom! 

I look forward to a great year as we all learn and grow together.

 

The following is a list of classroom rules I use from year to year.

 

- Late work is accepted ONE day late for 50% credit. Incomplete work is NOT accepted.

If a student misses class for any reason they are responsible for finding out what assignments were collected and assigned, as well as, what subjects were covered in class. (ask the teacher/classmates)

- If an assignment is due on the day of an absence, students will make it up or turn it in on the day they return. If a student is absent on a test day due to legitimate reasons, the student must make arrangements to take a make-up test. The make-up test must be taken within THREE days of his/her return to school. Make-up exams will be at the instructor’s convenience.

- I will be available before school, some days after school, and at lunch for help and to make up work.

- Homework is collected/checked at the BEGINNING of the period and expected to be completed at home.

- Students are expected to be in their assigned seats when the tardy bell rings. On the third tardy, hours/detention will be assigned.

- Gum, food, and drinks are not allowed in the classroom. Water must be kept in the students' backpack.

- No electronic devices (iPods, smartphones, tablets, etc.) are allowed out during class (unless told otherwise).

Throughout the year, students will use Google Classroom and Google Calendar to monitor their tasks: upcoming quizzes, tests, presentations, and when a new lesson begins. For Chinese 1 and 2 students, they will also use Quizlet.com to access vocabulary flashcards on their phone and/or the computer.
