Parents and students have the ability, and are encouraged, to check their grades and follow their progress within the classroom on Skyward. This is a great tool to use for communication between the teacher, student, and parent(s) about grades and progress. I will have homework assignments posted in skyward within 24 hours of correction, while big classroom projects and tests will be posted within a week of the hand-in day.
Late or absent work
Students who are absent will have many resources to get all of the materials and information that they missed. I would like them to talk to me if they have any questions, I am more than willing to help. Other students in the classroom will have notes from class for the day(s) that they missed. Also, skyward will have due dates for students to view at any time. In the end, students who are absent have to take it upon themselves to use these resources.
Students who have not prepared properly for an assignment and are unable to hand it in, will have the opportunity to use one of the three “late assignment excuse-tickets” that they will receive every quarter. Incomplete homework is not accepted.
If a student gets a paper back and they receive lower than a 70, they will have ONE opportunity to make corrections. They have, if taken advantage of, until the end of the week to complete their corrections. This will only apply when students have originally completed their homework but need to make corrections, again no incomplete homework will be accepted.
Cheating
Cheating is absolutely unacceptable!! Cheating will not be tolerated in the classroom. I will ALWAYS be around for questions and help, before, during and after school. If I see cheating of any kind on homework or tests, it will be an automatic zero.
