Expectations

Picture
There are 3 rules of the road I expect students to follow in order to successfully navigate the highway that is our classroom. 
  1. Be Prepared
  2. Be Respectful
  3. Do Your Best​



​These are three very simple rules I expect students to comply with while taking part in my classes. I feel that these basic rules, if followed, will help students to be very successful during my classes. The remainder of the items that I have setup in my classroom are procedures and range from things like asking for help, handing in assignments, and requesting to leave the classroom.

Behavior Tracking

Picture
We will be using Classdojo to track and monitor behavior. By following the instructions sent home during the first week of school you can connect to your child's class. 
​

The purpose of this is to keep parents informed of student behavior. Report cards are designed to reflect a student's ability to grasp and understand the curriculum. Once you have connected to the class you will be able to see the specific skills we are focusing on during the school year. 

Procedures


  • Absences
Regular attendance is essential for students to be successful. If you are unable to attend school it is your responsibility to get any missed work or notes.

  • Assignments​
​​You will be expected to turn in weekly assignments. If you are absent the day they are due or you have not completed the work it is your responsibility to speak with me about an extension. 

  • Assessments & Re-Writes​ (Math)
​​We will be having weekly assessments. There will be a pre-assessment (formative) mid week designed to be formative and allow me an opportunity to review topics students are struggling with and a summative assessment will be written at the end of the week. If you receive a better grade on the pre-assessment that mark will be the one given to you in Power School. If you wish to improve your mark on any summative assessment you may schedule a re-write with me.
​
  • Test Corrections (Math - Semester 1 Only)
If you obtain an assessment mark below 80%, you will be given the chance to make annotated corrections to receive additional marks.  You are able to earn back half of the points that were missed on the test if corrections are completed fully. Corrections must include explanations in complete sentences for all questions and must be handed in within a week of the graded test being handed back.  This practice is meant to teach you to review assessments to ensure you understand any questions you were unsuccessful in answering correctly. You should be regularly reviewing notes and practicing questions to prepare for assessments.
