Class Schedule:

 A DAY                           B DAY

1st=Study Hall             2nd=Pre-AP

3rd=Pre-AP                  4th=Pre-AP

5th= Conference            6th=Grade Level

7th=Pre-AP                      8th=Conference 

Grading Policy:

The impact of individual assignment grades on a cumulative six weeks average will vary each six weeks because there will not be exactly the same number of assignments during each of the six weeks periods.  As a general rule, however, here is the relative weight of different kinds of grades:

 

            Short assignments/quizzes/daily work                        count once

            Paragraphs/longer assignments or quizzes                  count twice

            Essays/major tests/projects                                          count three times

 

 Tutoring is Tuesday 3:00-3:30 & TH 7:15-7:45

Also, you can make an appointment if the days/times above do not fit your schedule. Just let me know in advance if you are coming to tutoring.

Students are encouraged to see me with any questions or concerns about what we’re covering, make-up work, or extra credit.

 

My tutoring times are Tuesday 3:00-3:30 and Thursday 7:15-7:45. You can also come to tutoring by appointment. 

English Department Make Up Tutoring is every Thursday 3:00-4:00

Make-up Work:

If a student is absent, it is his/her responsibility to get missed work.  A long term project/assignment for a major grade should be turned in the day a student returns to class. If the school determines a student’s absence is unexcused due to truancy, no credit will be given for an assignment. If the student’s absence is excused for a school activity for which he has advance notice, he should be prepared for class with completed assignments when he returns. Extracurricular activities are not excuses for putting off making up work or assignments.
