      HOMEWORK

1.            You will have homework nightly. Homework may be a worksheet found in your packet   
               or another assignment given in class.
2.            Homework will be written on the board under “La Tarea”. Copy down the assignment
               in your notebooks.

QUIZZES
1.            We will have at least two quizzes per week.
2.            If you are absent, it is your responsibility to see me about your missed work. If we
                had a quiz while you were absent, if you do not see me to make it up, it will be a zero!!!

TEST
1.         We will have tests at the end of every chapter. This is graded out a possible 100 points.
2.         If you are absent, you must see me to make it up or you will receive a zero!!!
3.         At the end of each quarter we will have a PARTICIPATION GRADE. This will greatly affect your quarter grade!!!

MAKE-UPS (quizzes and tests)
Make-ups must be taken within 5 days of the date of the quiz/test. After 5 days, you can no longer make-up the quiz/test.

THE PARTY OF THE DAY (La fiesta del día). This is the after school detention session. Reminder: If you skip “La fiesta”, I will personally contact your parent or guardian.
WHO JOINS THE PARTY OF THE DAY: Any students who violate my 4 classroom rules:
a)            No talking when I am talking. If you have a question, raise your hand.
b)            No talking when a fellow student is giving an answer or asking a question
c)            No put downs or name calling of any kind will be tolerated. You will respect each
               other.
d)            ABSOLUTELY NO FOOLING AROUND: In other words, no running around the  
               classroom, no jumping on top of desks and especially, no throwing things around.
e)            The World Languages Wing is a cellphone free zone. Students are expected to restrain from using cellphones in our classrooms.



PARTICIPATION GRADE
               At the end of each quarter you will evaluate your participation including on time to class, bringing class materials, oral participation and class behavior. I will compare your evaluation to mine and come up with a PARTICIPATION GRADE. This will have a great impact on your grade!!!

Any and all giving or receiving of inappropriate assistance that significantly alters or replaces a student’s own work is considered an Academic Integrity Violation. Any student contributing to cheating by another student will be deemed guilty of violating the Academic Integrity Expectations and the same consequences for such will apply.
