PLANNERS

Filled out a week at a time to plan ahead

Time given in class to fill out

Stamped by teacher to verify assignments are written correctly.

Must be signed nightly by parent AFTER verifying that the listed assignments are completed.

ABSENT AND LATE WORK

Absent work is able to be turned in for FULL credit.

Late work is able to be turned in for ½ credit timeline by trimester)

All late and absent work to be turned into the brown basket with student’s name/date/ period in upper, right-hand corner.

With over 200 students, I get to the late basket every Friday. Please be patient!

BROWN CABINET

The brown cabinet in the front right corner of the room holds the extra copies of all of the hand outs from class for the entire trimester.

The brown cabinet is self-serve. If your student was absent or has an assignment eating backpack or folder, they do not have to ask me or be embarrassed, rather just pick out the paper they need.

Located on top of the cabinet is the master schedule planner for verification of assignments.

STUDENT PORTFOLIOS

Located along the side wall in the black crates

Students will fill out contact information should I find their backpack, assignment, glasses, phone, etc. left behind.

All work for the trimester will be graded and placed in their file. This way if there is a dispute about a grade on an assignment or if an assignment is completed, we have a verification tool.

All work will be returned at end of each trimester.

Work can not be removed from the folder unless to show me a mistake has been made. I will correct the error immediately.

NO T IN KANSAS ANY MOR E!

Middle school is DIFFERENT:

No named papers are thrown out

7 different teachers, styles, classes, procedures, and classmates

42 students per class, stay focused

Behavior expectations are higher

Organization is KING! Don’t procrastinate.

Block Schedule (I see your student for 1hr 35 min ever other day)

No meetings/conferences with individual teachers, only team meetings
