Binders
Due to the nature of the program, binder organization is crucial,
but I encourage the development of a personal organization
style.
I have suggested to your child organizing his/her binder using
the following sections:
•Vocabulary & Reference – a running list of all vocab and
any other reference sheets that may be used throughout the
year
•Notes & Classwork – all notes and examples done in class,
as well as worksheets and activity sheets
•Homework – worksheets or book assignments should be
kept here for easy access
•Tests/Quizzes – keep all quizzes and tests until binder
clean out (then transfer to a folder at home)
Grades
All grading will be done using a point
system

I will no longer be using grade sheets or having

progress by logging on to PowerSchool.
Homework and participation are updated weekly.
Please allow adequate time (<1 week for multiple
choice/matching type assessments and 1+ week
