Practice Projects Assessments Homework

GRADE INFO:
Assignments are broken down into categories, and each category is weighted differently. You can see the weights to the left of this box. Make sure to check online for grades, as I update them regularly.

Low Quiz or

ABSENT?
It is the responsibility of the student to obtain their work after an absence. 1.) ABSENCE FORMS: You need to check the Yo Puedo & pick up the paper with your name on it. If any copies were handed out they will be attached and any special announcements will be added too 2.) MAKE UP QUIZZES/TESTS: -ALL quizzes/tests must be made up according to Libertys absent policy. Any speaking or listening sections MUST be made up BEFORE or AFTER school.

I know from first-hand experience that learning a new language is hard, and is not the same for every student. To make sure that each student has the opportunity to perform to the best of their abilities students may request the opportunity to re-do an assignment. Students may retake any test within one week. Students must have completed ALL missing assignments that are related to the unit being assessed. Permission to re-do an assignment is at the teachers discretion and must be accompanied by a signed TEST RETAKE FORM. You MUST discuss your plans with Srta. Marton BEFORE you come in to re-do the assignment!

Can I turn in my work LATE?

Late work will be accepted according To Libertys Late work policy. It must be turned into the LATE WORK bin. Up to 2 points may be taken off for each Day the assignment is late. If it is NEVER turned in, it will receive a 50% or F or failing grade for the assignment.
