English Notes
- Homework: will be assigned once or twice a week. Assignments are to be done in pencil and are due on the assigned date to receive points. If an assignment is incomplete, students will need to ask for a Late Slip which needs to be completed and signed by a parent/guardian and returned the next day to receive full credit. Homework serves a purpose. The homework that is assigned, reinforces the skills that have been taught in class that day and allow students an opportunity to try the skills on their own and ask any remaining the questions the next day.
- Assessments: Assessments are given at the end of each lesson to assess students' individual abilities on the concepts we are covering. At the end of each Unit students will take a district common assessment or complete a performance task (designed to mirror what they will see on the SMARTER assessment)
- Absences: When a student is absent he/she is responsible for getting missed assignments. There is a bin in the classroom that has missing work organized by date for easy retrieval. A responsible student or parent may come to school to get the work if there is/will be an extended absence.
