Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome to a new school year! My name is Miss Reed and I
am new this year at AEA. I will be teaching 6
th
, 7
th
, and 8
th

grade language arts, as well as 8
th
grade math. I wanted to
go through the rules and procedures with you that I expect
while students are in my classroom. This is the students
first assignment and will be due on Friday, August 22
nd

signed by both you and your student. Turned in on Friday
will result in 5/5 points, 3/5 on Monday, and 1/5 any day
after.
In every classroom at AEA, the same four rules will be
posted:
A.) Use appropriate language and gestures.
B.) Be respectful to everyone in the building.
C.) Use electronic devices only when directed by a teacher.
D.) Follow the school dress code.
The above rules are always an expectation no matter where
students are in the building, however, the specifics in my
room are below. This is the same for both math and language
arts.
Homework
Homework will be given on a regular basis. It will be due
the next day and will be partially graded. Homework wont
be given in excess amounts for busy work but just enough
to reinforce practice. I will pick a few different problems
from the homework to grade and this will vary per
assignment. Homework wont be overwhelming so late
homework will result in a 0.
Absence
At AEA, the curriculum we teach is online and will come
from many hand-outs and notes. For this reason, being in
class to take notes is very important. If students miss
class, they are responsible for getting the notes from a
classmate. Good times to do this are lunch, advisory period
at the end of the day, and after school. If for some reason a
student cant get the notes, please come to me. Any other
work completed in class that day will be in the appropriate
basket in our room. Students will have as many days as they
missed to complete any absent work. I will advise students
who are absent on anything important they have missed and
if notes that day happen to be a hand-out I made, they will
be in the basket as well.
Behavior
The above building rules are the same rules that need to be
applied in our classroom. Below are the consequences if
those rules are broken. Students get a clean slate each day
and each class period if in my room for two classes.
a.) Warning
b.) Seat move
c.) Detention after school
There will be an end of nine weeks reward (students will
vote) for those that do not receive any detentions. I will
also reward good behavior with treats, homework passes,
and other goodies throughout the year.
