Please note that everyday your child should review the notes from that day's class. These notes are critical when preparing for a quiz/test. I will post on Google classroom the power point that we are working on in class and they should take notes on this material. If at any time your child is unsure about any material presented, they are to communicate via email to me and I will make sure to cover this in class the next day.

Each week, I will post their weekly homework assignments. Please note that homework has a graded value. If it is notes, completing a page in the textbook or a project, I do check it and it has a point value. Rubrics are provided so that the student can assess the weight of each component to ensure the best possible grade. 

Tests and quizzes will be taken using Google classroom. I will not give surprise quizzes or tests. Each quiz and test will have plenty of advanced notice. I use a variety of testing styles including but not limited to multiple choice, true/false, and short answer.

While every effort will be made to ensure your student's success, they must do their part. Follow the rubric, study each night, and pay attention in class and we will find great success moving forward.
