Additional assignments will be assigned throughout the week as we move through the
pacing guide. All assignments will be posted on the board and discussed during the mini
lesson, work period, or closing lesson each day. You are responsible for writing your
assignments in your agenda/planner and knowing the due date for each assignment. I
will do my best to update my blog each Monday but technology does not always
cooperate. Always rely on your notes in your planner to keep you informed.
You will also be required to complete one book talk presentation each quarter on the
independent reading book of your choice.
Make-up Work Policy: I will support the Duval County Public School Policy
that indicates each child will receive the same number of days to turn in his/her work as
they were absent. For example, if a student is out on Monday and Tuesday (2 days) they
will receive two days to turn in the work. Therefore, all work will be due on Friday
giving them two full days to complete the work (Wednesday and Thursday).
Grading Scale: Students will be evaluated in accordance with the standard Duval
County Public School’s grading scale.
Progress Reports: In addition to report cards issued at the end of each quarter,
students will receive progress reports in the middle of each quarter.
I look forward to working with you this year in reaching new levels of academic success,
higher levels of self confidence, and embedding leadership skills that are vital in this
evolving world.
