--------------------------------------
When is your conference time?
My conference time is M,T,W,F 10:05-10:55am, M,T,Th 3:15-4:00pm.
I am also available for phone conferences, and I am willing to work out
more convenient times if needed.
--------------------------------------
When is homework due?
Homework is checked daily for completion. All homework is due at the
beginning of class on Friday, if late, students will receive a Late Work
mark.
--------------------------------------
What does it mean to set up a paper correctly?
Your student must have their paper properly positioned with the holes
on the left. They must have their name, date and teacher's name on the top
right corner and the title of the assignment in the middle, on the top
line.
Failure to "set up" a paper correctly will
result in re-doing the assignment.
--------------------------------------
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 classroom
Did not respect 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 wisely
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
