HOMEWORK
Homework will be given and collected on a regular basis. It should be neatly written (if I can't read it I can't grade it) in BLUE or BLACK ink or PENCIL if it is not an assignment that will be done on the Chromebook. Nothing else will be accepted. ** IF HOMEWORK IS NOT TURNED IN ON THE DAY IT IS DUE, A “O” GRADE WILL BE RECORDED IN THE GRADE BOOK. You will not a get a grade for every assignment you do. Don't try to second guess me. Do all the assignments I give. BE PREPARED!
MAKE-UP POLICY
Make-up work is YOUR responsibility. If you are absent, you must check Canvas to see what you are missing. I will email you instructions, as well. (Your rensselaerschools.org address) It is YOUR responsibility to check your school email when you are absent to get those assignments. Some assignments may have worksheets that are needed to be completed. Sometimes I can attach those sheets and sometimes you will need to pick those up from me when you return. **Tests and quizzes can be made up during Flex Period, before and after school. It is YOUR responsibility to arrange this with me.

*Very Important* - Where to check for grades
Even though Canvas has a grade book program, Powerschool is the ultimate authority on grades. Any assignment created and graded in Canvas will appear in the Canvas grade book and Powerschool. Also, any assignment/grade that is manually put into Canvas will appear in Canvas and Powerschool. HOWEVER, if an assignment is only put into Powerschool, it WILL NOT show up in Canvas. Therefore, you may have two different grades. ALWAYS check Powerschool. That will be your true grade in my class.
Spanish 3 students will receive a file folder in which all tests and quizzes will be kept. I will keep this in the room. Students may look at it at any time, but cannot take it out of the room.
SUPPLIES
You will need to bring to class, EVERY DAY, your book, 3 ring binder, paper, pen or pencil and a charged Chromebook. Make sure to carry your charger with you.
Headphones - for directed listening exercises ONLY! Do not attempt to listen to music, play games or watch a t.v. show or movie during class!
CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR RULES
- No purses or backpacks are allowed in the room!
- No cell phone use during class, unless asked to do so. This includes texting!! If I see your phone, it is mine. Your parents can pick it up in the office at the end of the day.
- BATHROOM - You have 5 min. between classes to use the bathroom. Use it then! Only in an extreme emergency situation should you ask to use the bathroom. At that point, I have to stop class and write you a pass!
- You will be in the room when the bell rings, NOT running through the door or you will be counted tardy.
- No food or drinks, other than water in a clear container, will be allowed in the room unless cleared by me first.
- If there is a substitute teacher in the room and a note is left for me stating that you have been disruptive, etc., upon my return you will receive a detention.
- Headphones are ONLY for listening to activities in class. NO ONE will wear headphones, or anything like them during class.
