Grading 90-100 A 80-89 B 70-79 C 60-69 D 0- 59 F It is strongly recommended that you complete and turn in all work on time. All late work from an unexcused absence will receive (one) letter off. It is student’s duty to get their missed work information before or after school from teacher, website or another student. Teacher will not take current class time to talk to students about what they missed when they were absent. If you are absent, you must turn in make-up assignments within the number on days of absences. The more each student completes their own work with their own skill base- the more they will grow in their reading abilities. The ultimate goal for each student is to receive a 350 or higher on their 10th grade FSA assessment in April 2017. (A test they take completely by themselves) New school-wide policy- all students must carry a school notebook and keep all class work organized for each specific class. It will be 15% of student’s grade. Homework There will be homework assigned throughout the semester. Students are expected to complete all homework assignments. Homework will be checked for accuracy and/or completion. Late homework will not be accepted, unless you have an acceptable excuse. Remember—even if I do not assign homework, students should be completing all other of their class’s homework and utilize the reading, writing and note-taking skills they practice in reading class to be successful in every class. All students should also engage in 30 to 60 minutes a day of silent reading at home. Students can read any text- no phones, no music- find a quiet spot and READ!!! Make sure you are reading something you find engaging and remember after every few paragraphs to stop and think about what you have read so far. The more you read ANY TEXT- the more your writing, reading and spelling abilities will increase. If you are absent in ISS or ABS then it is your responsibility to check on (school High-Tide website/lesson plans) for class and homework assignments. Being absent one or more classes is not an excuse not to turn in homework. That is why is posted on the website.
