Work will be due by figuring the number of days absent plus 2 days, not counting weekends. Example – if a student misses a Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, they would have 5 school days to turn it in, which would be the following Wednesday. This policy is consistent with the Polk County School Board make up policy. See the Student Code of Conduct for details. Check the LHS website www.lakelandhighschool.com for “Assignments Online,” or to send email at terryl.dietert@polk-fl.net if you have any questions.
Classroom Expectations:
1. Talk at the appropriate times- only when given permission.

7. Have a book to read at all times.
8. Head gear and sunglasses are not to be worn.
*Cell phones: If you are using your phone, or if it rings, I will give you one warning. If it rings again, I will take your phone battery and turn it in to the office. Other Electronics: If you are using you using any other electronic device, I will take that and turn it in to the office.
Consequences: First offense – non-verbal warning, Second – verbal warning, Third – intra-class detention, Fourth –– phone call home and talk with athletic coach, Fifth – referral to office;
Tardy policy –

Course overview: Students will explore the genres of fiction, nonfiction, drama, and poetry through reading, writing, listening, speaking, and viewing. Curriculum maps will help students organize their thinking as they follow benchmarks and standards under the following Sunshine State Strands: Reading Process, Literary Analysis, Writing Process, Writing Applications, Communication, and Information and Media Technology.
Work will include grammar, usage, and mechanics study; vocabulary, word families, and affixes; research and study skills; reading strategies; and critical thinking. We will stress FCAT reading strategies such as main idea, summarizing, and author’s purpose, utilizing graphic organizers when possible. In addition, students will practice timed writings to prepare both for FCAT.
Note to parents: Please contact me at any time regarding the progress of you son or daughter. My email address again is terryl.dietert@polk-fl.net. Please make a point to fill out and turn in the Parent Internet Viewer form in your child’s information packet that he/she will bring home the first day.
