The Grade Scale is as follows:

90 - 100%: 60 - 69%: D

Homework:

If you are unable to finish an assignment in class, you are usually given the opportunity to finish it as homework.

Homework can be expected 3-4 times per week, as needed.  

Homework assignments could include vocabulary, spelling, reading, writing assignments, and special projects.  

Homework is due the day after it is assigned, unless special instructions are given.

Make Up Work:

Make up work is available for students who miss class.  You will have 5 school days to make up work.  Work that is due on the day of your absence will be due on the day of your return.  It is YOUR responsibility to come to the teacher to receive assignments.

 

Parents,

Please review this list of procedures and expectations with your son/daughter.  If you need clarification on any topic, do not hesitate to ask. 

I am available for conferences if necessary; please call to make an appointment. 

I am looking forward to a successful year, and together we can provide many opportunities for your child's success.
