Homework Information

Homework is assigned as needed Monday through Friday.

 

Homework typically consists of preparatory work for the lessons covered in class or finishing work begun in class. On rare occasions students may have projects to finish at home.

 

Please help your child with all homework.  Proofread their papers.  Try not to just tell them answers; instead, help them discover answers for themselves.

 

Thank you in advance for your help preparing your child for their future in an increasingly competitive world.

Grading Scale

Grades fall into one of the following 3 weighted categories: 25% "minor," 35% "intermediate," and 40% "major."  Keep in mind, assignments may have various titles or names, but rest assured, they fall into 1 of those 3 categories. 

 

The following are examples of assignments that fall into the minor grades category: routine homework, bellwork, and some classwork.

 

The following are examples of assignments that fall into the category of intermediate assignments: quizzes, projects not considered major projects, and special classwork.  

 

Tests and major projects are examples of assignments that fall into the category of major assignments.

 

I try to get all grades posted by each Friday, but circumstances may prevent that.  Some assignments like essays, research projects, speeches, and other major assignments take a long time to score, so I cannot promise to get those scores within a short time.  Last year I was able to get all grades posted within a reasonable time.  Scoring assignments can be one of the most tedious, and time consuming tasks teachers face.  Thank you in advance for your patience!

Welcome!

Welcome back! I hope that you all have had a fantastic summer! My course expectations and rules will be going home the first day with an opportunity to return for some easy extra credit! We will also be going over procedures for my classroom and learning each student's individual learning style.

I can feel this year is going to be AWESOME! I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you!
