Attendance: Since much emphasis is placed on listening and speaking,
absenteeism can definitely cause problems.
If you know you are going to be absent, it is your responsibility
to inform me in advance and make
up all assignments (homework, quizzes, tests, projects, etc.)
Tardiness: Tardiness to class will not be tolerated. You are expected to be ready to begin class
when the bell rings. If you are tardy or
late to school and miss class, it is an unexcused absence. You
are expected to have the assignment for the next day. The same applies for dismissals.
Penalties for tardiness:
- Warning
- Detention
- Student will receive
disciplinary consequences and parents will be notified (consequences may
include: loss of one point per tardy per marking period, Saturday detention). *Refer
to school handbook.
Make-up work: If you are absent for one or two days, you
need to obtain the assignments and hand them in the next day (use Web
site). If you are absent for a longer
period of time, see me to discuss when the work will be due. If you are absent for only one day and a quiz
or a test is scheduled, you will be
expected to take the quiz or test.
If you miss a quiz or test,
you have no more than one week to make it up. Please see me to make arrangements. Failure to make up quizzes or tests within
the one-week period will result in a zero
for that grade. No extensions allowed (unless
extraordinary circumstances; you still need to see me in advance to discuss).
Materials: (this is part of your participation grade)
- Pen or pencil
- Book (covered)
- Notebook (3 ring binder
with the following items/sections:
Class Expectation Sheet, Useful Spanish Expressions, Review Verb Sheet,
Practice, Vocabulary, Grammar, Culture, and Homework).
