Welcome Letter and Some Policies:

My Letter to the Students:

First of all, welcome back! The first thing I want you to know is that I’m excited to have you all back. I enjoyed getting to you know each of you last year and look forward to all the quality time we will spend together this year. I also want you to know that I care about you and that each of you is important in the classroom. You will all succeed in this classroom. In what ways you succeed are all going to be different, but we do not measure success only by grades and scores; these are a measure of your content knowledge. Success in this classroom is measured by your ability to participate in our learning community. That is what each of you can add to in different ways, whether that is academically, socially, spiritually, emotionally, or physically. Our primary goal in this classroom is discipleship; academics is our second goal. Through respect and encouragement, we can grow together as disciples of Christ this year.

Some of you might love the classes I teach. Others of you don’t always. My goal is not to make each of you love the English language as much as I do, it is instead to help you see it in a new way. Remember, not everyone is equally good at everything, but everyone has their own gifts. As long as we keep these things in mind, it should be a great year! Looking forward to the journey with you!

 Homework Policies                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Grading Policies

1. All assignments must have your name, the class, and the date due written on the upper left-hand corner or the line provided.

2. All assignments are to be done in pencil or blue or black ink. If it is done in another color, you will need to recopy the assignment and turn it in for a late grade. Show your creativity and individuality in your words and projects, not the color ink you choose. Messy work may result in a lowered grade or a complete recopy – to the discretion of the teacher.

3. Homework must be written in complete sentences unless otherwise directed. To become good writers, you must practice.

4. “In-Class Work” is daily work that should primarily be done in class. It will occasionally become homework if you do not finish it, but should not often go out of the class. It will be graded on a 0-4 point scale. Any larger homework assignment will be graded by individual point values and be referred to as “Homework.”

5. Homework is due on the due date at class the period for which it was assigned. Late work (including work at home or in your locker) will receive a late and you have one day to complete the assignment for full credit. Lates will follow the procedure outlined on pages 39-40 in the handbook. In brief: Your first late assignment (in a given class) will receive a warning, a second will receive an academic referral, and a third will receive a detention.

Absences

1. You will have one day for each missed day to make up your work; after that, it will be treated as a late assignment. To revive full credit, tests and quizzes must also be made up within this time frame unless you make other arrangements with me.

2. For planned absences, make arrangements at least two days before you leave.
