May I make-up work during lunch, class, or another block?
Students should arrange to make-up work with the teacher before
or after school only. The teacher is not available for make-up
work during lunch, your Economics/Psychology class, or another
block.
I came by Room 201 to see a teacher, but no one was there. What should I do?
WAIT by the door to room 201 until a teacher arrives or you must
leave to go to class. Teachers have many errands to run before
and after school so Mrs. Jacobson or Mrs. Adams will not always
be in the room. If you need to see one of us, wait. We will be
back momentarily.
Must I bring my textbook to class everyday?
YES. We may not use the textbook everyday. However, you are
expected to always have it with you in class so it is available
when you need it.
May I cover my textbook with the cover of my choice?
We have found that the covers we make in class are more durable
and better for the books in the long run. Therefore, you will
make a cover in class with the material provided and put it on
your textbook. However, you may place a cover of your choice
over the one we make in class.
What's my grade?
Information forms will be completed at the beginning of each
semester noting student and parent email addresses. An updated
progress report will be emailed to those addresses provided once
a week. If you do not receive an emailed progress report that
week by 6pm on Friday, please, email the appropriate teacher
(Mrs. Jacobson - ajacobson@mcsdga.net or Mrs. Adams -
rcaton@mcsdga.net) with your correct email address.
If you do not have email capability, students should pick up a
progress report form from the Guidance Office each Friday before
7:30am and bring it to class for the teacher to complete.
I was absent, what did I miss?
A calendar for each unit is maintained on the course website, so
students should be aware of what they missed. It is the
students' responsibility to make arrangements with the teacher
outside of class to meet with her before or after school to
complete make-up work. Excused and Administrative
Absences have 3 school days upon their return to complete daily
make-up work. Long term assignments are to be turned in on their
due date without exception regardless of the type of absence. All
unexcused absences receive a zero for missed work.
I have In School Suspension (ISS). Will you get me out to attend class?
While in ISS, you may only attend class on test or lab days.
Quizzes do not count as tests, and you are expected to make-up
missed quizzes within 3 school days (including the days in ISS)
before or after school. Otherwise, you will receive a zero on
those quizzes. All work assigned during ISS is to be turned into
the ISS Instructor before leaving. The ISS Instructor will place
it in the teacher's mailbox.
Why are there 2 different calendars and handouts for Economics?
2nd block Economics usually has different assignments than
3rd/4th block Economics.
