Welcome to English. I'll use this site, along with ebackpack, to communicate important information for both students and parents, so you're encouraged to check it from time to time. I'll also use this site to aggregate resources that will be helpful for various assignments and to facilitate some of the work that we'll do in class. Below you'll find some general information about my classes and more specific course related information can be accessed through the navigational tabs above.

Student Expectations
· Come to class prepared, organized and eager.
· Class begins when the bell rings, so when you hear it, be in your seat and start the bell ringer.
· Follow directions and stay on task.
· Respect the attentiveness of the class. That is, don’t be a distraction, even to yourself.
· Demonstrate integrity, respect, empathy and compassion in all of your behaviors.
Preparedness
Students should be prepared for class each day with:
· Pencil/ pen, English text, iPad, Assigned homework, Notebook with loose leaf paper
Homework
Homework is expected on the assigned due date. Late work may be accepted at the discretion of the teacher but will be subject to a 10% penalty. Some assignments, because of their
Attendance and Absence
Students are expected to attend class each day, but there inevitably circumstances which occasionally prevent attendance. Students who miss class have the number of days they missed plus one to make up missed work. It is the student’s responsibility to collect makeup work. Incomplete work will earn a zero.
Conduct
Students are expected to follow classrooms rules as well as adhere to the code of conduct stipulated in the student handbook. Above all, students should demonstrate integrity, respect, empathy and compassion in all their behavior, as these shared values are essential to a productive learning community.
Attitude
Students are also expected to maintain a positive attitude. We will try to enjoy our class time as much as we can and the extent to which we are able to do so will be partly contingent on the good attitude of the students. Be open-minded. Be curious. When the occasion calls for it, be playful. Have faith that you can accomplish everything that you’ll need to, and make up your mind that you will persevere when the work is challenging.
