Homework
• The purpose of homework is to practice and reinforce
objectives and skills taught in class. It is meant to prepare
students for formal assessment, not to be the formal
assessment of objectives taught in class. The greater the
effort a student places in his/her practice assignments, the
better the chances of performing well on formal
assessments.
• Time is given in class to start most homework/practice
assignments. Most assignments are small, and it is not
unusual for students to finish in class. Students should
study at home.
Study Time• Studying is the key to success when preparing for
assessments. All seventh grade students should have
an hour each school night set aside for studying, even if
practice work was completed at school. As part of your
child’s commitment to seventh grade, we ask that you
determine an hour each day that is set aside – free from
distraction – for studying. This time should involve
rereading chapters assigned in texts, completing
assigned outside reading, reviewing study guides and
notes taken in class, making flashcards to prepare for
upcoming tests, and analyzing lessons from current units
for all classes. Any homework can also be completed
during this time.
Resource Materials
• McDougal Little: American History– Textbook will be available on line. There are
also books available to use in the classroom or library. Students will not have a personal copy to take home.
• Please encourage your child to read the newspaper and other sources of current events (teen magazines not included). I don’t care what the Kardashians are doing.
Assignments
• Assignments for the week will be posted on
my website at the start of class on Mondays.
• Assignments/handouts may also be available on the online grading system.
• Students are expected to turn in work by the due date.
• Students are expected to keep up with classroom assignments and projects.
Attendance & Assignments
• Projects should be done be the student, not the parent, as they are usually assessments of the student’s understanding.
• Information on all projects that require time outside of class will be included in the weekly newsletters.
• Parents and students should read the newsletters together and make plans for the week.
Attendance & Assignments
• Students have one day for each day’s absence to make up missed work as stated in the student handbook.
• It is the student’s responsibility to check for missed assignments on the day he/she returns to school or via email with prolonged illnesses
Student Behavior Expectations
• HAVE RESPECT FOR YOURSELF AND OTHERS
*This rule covers a lot of territory. I don’t expect
discipline problems; I do expect a great year of
learning, working, and making new friends.
SHOW RESPECT
SHOW RESPONSIBILITY
SHOW PRIDE
