Class rules:

Students need to be prepared each day for class with the following items:
  • Textbook
  • Packet
  • Spiral - for notes
  • A folder
  • Assignment notebook
  • Pens or pencils.

Students are expected to be on time for class, tardies will be marked down and consequences given.

Participation is a must! Students should be active, engaged members of the classroom.
Class homework policy:

Students are given a bank of 100 points for homework at the beginning of each quarter and it is up to them to keep as many of those points as possible.  Each time they do not have a daily homework assignment completed on time they will lose two points from that bank.  If they do the work before their next Spanish class they can gain one of the lost points back.  Long term projects or assignments will have ten percent deducted each day it is late (up to four days), after that point no credit will be given.  If a student has missed three daily assignments they will be referred to the ALP program to complete the work, they will also be referred to ALP on the first day that a long term project or assignment has not been turned in.
