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 re-
reading 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 @
classzone.com There are 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
Attendance & Assignments
• Assignments for the week will be posted
on my website at the start of class on
Mondays and will be recorded in
student’s agendas.
http://www.kyrene.org
• Agendas must be kept current.
• Replacement agendas are available
Attendance & Assignments
• Assignments/handouts may also be available on the on-line 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
• 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
PBIS is:• A positive behavior management process to create safer and more
effective schools.
• A system of clear school wide expectations with consequences and
incentives.
• Intervention when you need help.
• Students are recognized and praised for positive behaviors.
– Wall of fame, recognition certificate, opportunities to participate in special events, prizes
• Students receive interventions to help them refocus their unsuccessful behaviors.
– Teacher-student conference, parent contact, reflections, parent conference, administrative referral.
Consequences:
1. Instructor warning – (verbal or non-
verbal)
2. Time-out seat in classroom
3. Time-out in I.S.I. Parent will be contacted
about behavior.
4. Call home and referral to administration
Consequences:
• The instructor has the right to skip any of these steps in the case of severe and/or dangerous behavior problems.
• Demonstrate the commitment for learning through hard work, good behavior, and a positive attitude. It is the key to a successful year!
Community Involvement
