Class Requirements: 

 

  • · PLANNER: Each student is required to copy assignments in their student planner. Every Monday a weekly plan is placed on the board for students to copy. It is the STUDENT’S responsibility to copy this into their planner. It is the PARENT’S responsibility to check the student’s planner not the teacher. This will give you an overview of the lessons for the week, project due dates, announcements, and tests. This can also be found on my website under Monday’s homework.
  •  
  • · GRADES: The total number of points will vary each nine-week. Student’s grades are averaged from daily assignments, quizzes, homework, tests, projects, and group activities. Students’ grades will be based of the number of points they earn divided by the total number of points possible. The Washington Parish Grading Scale will be used:
93-100 A
92- 85 B
