--------------------------------------
When is your conference time?
My conference time is M,T,W,F 10:05-10:55 am and M,T,Th 3:15-4:00. I am
also available for phone conferences, and I am willing to work out more
convenient times as needed.
--------------------------------------
When is homework due?
Homework is checked daily for completion. All homework is due at the
beginning of class on Friday.
--------------------------------------
What does it mean to set up a paper correctly?
Your student must have their paper properly positioned with the heading on
the left. They must have their name, date and teacher's name in the right
corner and the title of the assignment in the middle, on the top line.
Filure to "set up" a paper correctly will result in points taken off the
total grade for that page.
--------------------------------------
How does a mark affect my child's conduct and work habits grade?
There are two different types of marks, Citizenship marks and Work
Habits/Study Skills marks
Citizenship Skills:
Did not behave responsibly in the classroom
Did not behave responsibly outside of the classroom
Did not show respect to authority
Did not show consideration to peers
Work Habits/Study Skills:
Work did not reflect best effort
Did not work well independently
Did not work well in groups
Did not work neatly and carefully
Did not use time wesely
Did not follow directions
Did not complete assignments on time
Did not listen and/or participate in class
Did not apply organizational skills
Talking will be considered: Did not behave responsibly in the classroom
At the end of the 9 weeks I will review your child's planner. I will add up
the following to determine their grade:
Citizenship Grades/Work and Study Skills Grades:
E=0-5 Marks
S=6-10 Marks
N=11-15 Marks
U-16+ Marks
