The “Wright” Way

MEET MRS. WRIGHT

PART OF TEMPERAMENT CLEAR AT BIRTH…

BORN INTO TYPICAL “LEAVE IT TO BEAVER” FAMILY IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

Quickly perfected my “tiger face” which has transformed into my current stern “teacher face”!

EARLY FASHION SENSE

ANIMAL LOVER

ALWAYS SMART, AN EARLY READER AND EXCELLENT STUDENT, I WAS PATIENT WHEN MY MOTHER TRIED HARD TO MAKE ME “CUTE”

BUT LIKE MANY OF YOU, MIDDLE SCHOOL WAS NOT KIND TO MY

“LOOKS” Grade 8 High school a little better

College too…

SCHOOL WAS MY REFUGE, AND I EXCELLED INTELLECTUALLY ALL THROUGH COLLEGE

AS A NEW TEACHER, MET GREAT GUY, GOT MARRIED

NOW HAVE WONDERFUL GROWN CHILDREN…

THE CUTEST GRANDDAUGHTER EVER, AND A GRANDSON DUE IN NOVEMBER!

CLASSROOM RULES AND REGSExpectations: Follow Directions, Show Respect, Always have supplies and do not

borrow from neighbors, Be Prompt, Prepared and Positive 

Tardies: At the third tardy for the SEMESTER, student will receive a classroom detention and I will contact parents. Subsequent tardies will result in office referral.

Gum – NONE – consequence will be one warning, then student will scrape desks

Cell Phones – Sound off, NEVER used in class; this means that as soon as you cross classroom threshold, phone is out of sight until you leave. Consequence will be that student will forfeit cell phone for the day ( I will lock in my desk)and student must remember to come by after school to retrieve

Homework: See NRMS Redo Policy online and in brochure. I do not give homework passes/coupons, etc. because I try to limit homework to reading not finished in class, studying for tests, or lengthy writing assignments.

Classwork: Classwork may be done in pencil or pen, printing or cursive, whatever is best for the student. I do not accept work that has doodles and/or drawings, so if you are a doodler, keep other paper handy!

Final drafts of writings are always typed (see my website or e-mail me).

Bring Every Day

corrections) Highlighters – 3 different colors Eraser NOT on pencil Markers Notebook Paper (prefer college rule but any OK) Colored Pencils Planner Folder with prongs and pockets Book to Read  Binder with at least 6 dividers  Spiral notebook (will be kept in classroom)

OTHER INFORMATION

Every student will have a Literature text to keep at home All papers MUST have FULL headings for credit: Name, class period, subject, date Every student will have a grammar workbook; this will

be used on an as-needed basis, so it must be kept at school in locker or in binder

All work must be kept in binder until told otherwise (this helps with grading issues)
