| Dear Parents & Students: Welcome to the 2006 - 2007 school year. I am very excited about the prospect of working with you and your child. My goal this year is to provide the highest quality educational experience for each individual learner in our classroom. In striving to reach that goal, I believe the following components are essential in creating the necessary safe learning environment that fosters and serves our educational needs:
With regard to curriculum, our goal as teachers is to provide meaningful activities and projects that challenge students to read, write, think, and speak articulately and effectively. Throughout the year students will be given a variety of opportunities and options to demonstrate their knowledge, growth, and learning. If you have any questions regarding assignments, or your student's progress, please feel free to contact me via e-mail:
Mrs. Popravak(hpoprava@egreen.wednet.edu)
We are looking forward to working with you and your child this year to create a successful learning experience. Basic Classroom Standards & Policies In order for us to have a successful year, classroom members need to strive to adhere to the following standards and policies: BE PROMPT
BE PREPARED
BE POLITE
BE ATTENTIVE
BE COOPERATIVE
BE RESPONSIBLE
Homework is a tool in the teaching and learning process when it has purpose and meaning as an extension of the learning in the classroom. Studying at home enhances student achievement, helping to develop self-discipline and good work/study habits. Students in our classroom should expect an average of 15-30 minutes of homework each night, which frequently consists of Sustained Silent Reading (SSR) in a book, novel, or magazine of the student's choice.
In addition to standing assignments already mentioned, homework in our classroom may be assigned to be completed outside of the normal school day for a number of reasons:
Unexcused late work is not acceptable. Students will be given one non-transferable late work pass at the beginning of each six week grading period to be used or not at their discretion during that time frame. This pass may not be used for class projects. While we encourage and expect every student to complete each assignment and project to the best of their ability, partial credit will be awarded, at our discretion, for incomplete work submitted on time, but not for work turned in late without a pass. Please note that for each day of excused absence one day is given to complete or make up work. We encourage parents and guardians to play an active role in their child’s education. The following is a list of suggestions for doing so:
With your cooperation and support, we are that much closer as a team to providing our students with the best possible chance for success! Letter grades are one way for parents, students, and teachers to measure academic growth and progress. Students will receive one grade for Language Arts and one for Social Studies Semester grades are a refection of student work over the entire 18 week grading period. Progress reports are mailed home by the school at the end of each six week grading period. I do provide progress reports at approximately half-way through each six week grading period. If you'd like more frequent reports, please contact me, via e-mail, Mrs. Popravak, to make individual arrangements. Grading is as follows:
