WELCOME

Welcome back!! I am very excited about the

2016-2017 school year and working with all
of you. If we all apply 100% effort, we will
have a successful and rewarding year.

EXPECTATIONS: Simple rules help the

classroom run smoothly so that everyone has
an equal opportunity to learn. Most of my
rules are common sense and should only
need to be reviewed once.
Respect everyones property, rights, and
opinions.
Bring all of your materials to school
everyday.
Come into the classroom and begin
working on your warm-up immediately.
No food or drinks in class.
Raise your hand and wait to be called on.

CONSEQUENCES: Unfortunately some

students may try to disrupt the class and
these students will have one or more of the
following consequences.
Timeout
Removal from class
Lunch detention
Phone call home
Parent/Teacher/Student Conference
I.S.S./O.S.S.

MATERIALS: Starting off on the right foot is

important. Students must have their
materials in class Wednesday September 7th
(A day) or Thursday September 8th (B
Day). Materials must be in class
EVERYDAY!!
5 subject spiral notebook to be used for
science only
A stash of loose leaf paper
Pen and sharpened pencil
Scotch tape
Colored pencils
HOMEWORK: Homework will be assigned
throughout the week, as well as reports and
projects throughout the year.

TUTORING: Tutoring is offered by

appointment only before school.
MAKE UP WORK: If a student is absent, it is
their responsibility to ask for any missing
assignments or notes from another student or
me. If labs are missed, students cannot make
up the labs, but they will not be penalized.
LATE WORK: It is important for all work to
be turned in on time. If you mistakenly
forget to turn an assignment in, late work can
be placed in the late bin in the back of the
room. The highest grade that will be given
on a late assignment is a 70%.
TEST RETAKES: If at any time a student has
a failing grade on an exam, they have the
chance to make up the test for a higher grade
Test makeups can only be completed before
school, and the highest grade they can
receive is a 79%.
FAMILY REPSONSIBILITIES: These are
some things you can do to ensure your
childs success this year.
Ask your child about progress reports.
Check Power Schools frequently
Make sure your child gets to school
everyday!!

all you. Please do not hesitate to contact me
