** Your child has gone over my __grading procedure__ and received a copy of my expectations for the year and should have a copy in his/her notebook. ** ** On major assignments, I will use a r__ubric with the expectations__ for the piece clearly stated. ** ** I also like to have students rate what they think the task was worth in each area. **

** __Grades are "weighted"__ with daily papers or quizzes, for example, being worth 1 grade, tests and major papers being worth 2 grades. **  ** Your child will also get a __participation grade__ based on class and small group sharing. **  ** Your child has also been asked to obtain a __"study buddy"__ and 2 alternates and been given a form for their buddy's name, phone number and e-mail address in case of absences, questions on assignments, or someone to review with before a test. **  ** Because I like to get feedback to students (and parents through Lumens), papers are due on time with one exception. ** ** Students were given 2 1-day late passes for papers. These will be given in case of an emergency and can be used anytime with in a 9 week period. **  I do not give extra credit as I believe students should do their work the first time. However, I will let a student re-do a paper for a higher grade if he/she is willing to put in the work. Language Arts Meet Your Child's Teacher Reading Risk Taking Rules Regulations Procedures
