See student's binder for all classroom policies or e-mail me for a copy to be sent home to you.
Below are some of the main policies in brief.
Visually checked homework receives 1 of 4 grades depending upon completeness:
100% Fully Complete Assignment..........................100%
1-2 Questions incomplete.................................80%
3 or more questions not done but at least 50% attempted..50%
Less than 50% done or not present ........................0%
Homework is due 24 hours after it is assigned in class when I come around to check or collect it. No late homework accepted. No locker passes.
******
All students are responsible for acquiring any free-hand taken class notes from a classmate on days of an absence.
Students will find missed homework and worksheets the day of their absence in the absent folder bin within the classroom. Students are to complete the missed assignments and submit them within 5 school days for credit. Failure to do so results in a zero.
Students will not be reminded about missed work. It is their responsibility to pick up their own missed sheets and submit them to me completed within 5 school days for credit. Students need to become proficient in knowing how to pick up where they left off and in following through on their academics.
As the teacher, I will approach students who need to make up missed quizzes and tests to ensure these are not missed.
*****
Eigth grade students in the past have commented on the increased responsibility placed upon them at this grade level.
We as an 8th grade team are preparing your son and daughter to practice and acquire the necessary skills they need in order to be sucessful in high school, only 1 short year away.
Encouragement, reviewing class material with your son and daughter, requiring to see their tests and quizzes allows you to take an active role in your child's education.
As the teacher, you will receive comments on how your child is doing in my room at the 5 week mark of each quarter (sent by the school along with comments on your child's other classes) and at the ten week mark (as a grade on the student's report cards).
If you'd like to know your child's average/behavior/homework habits/etc. outside of the above time frame, please call or e-mail me using the link on this site or at dtremblay@gasd.org and make me aware of your interest. Thank you.
********
Students are required to bring with them to class the following items daily:
1. Pen or Pencil (not red for quizzes or tests)
2. 2-3 inch wide 3-ring binder
3. Loose leaf paper in their binders
3. Any homework assigned
Students, your science notebook will be of extreme importance to you this coming year and I will guide you as to what notes and worksheets will be included in it. Your science notebook will serve as your main study guide for this course and it is up to every student to keep it updated and organized.
This site will post homework on a daily basis. Students will be given the class policies during the first few days of school and will be asked to share these forms with parents so everyone is aware of class expectations.
As an educator who fully realizes that parents have a great interest in what their child is learning, this site is here in part to invite parents to view current assignments and to serve as a link to contact me by way of e-mail.
Sincerely,
Miss Tremblay
