VIII. Grading Practices
Students will be graded on Homework, Class work, Tests and Quizzes.
Grading in my classroom is done by a Total Points Scale therefore no one
assignment/Test will count more than the other. If a student scores low on a
test, please be assured that they can make up that test grade by performing
well on homework and class work throughout the year.

Parents: Please look over this syllabus with your child. If any questions arise please do not hesitate to contact me. The best way to contact me is through email which is checked periodically throughout the day. If you do not have access to email, please call the school and if I am not available they will transfer you to my voicemail. It is imperative that we stay in contact and it is much easier for you to assist with this since you have only a couple of kids to keep track of while I have over 100. Thank you for your cooperation and support. I look forward to teaching your child and helping him/her prepare for a very successful school year. Please sign and return with your child as soon as possible.
