Issue Date How am| I assessed?

What if I need help? Srta. Crowley is after school daily until 2:20. Extra help is also available on Mondays and Tuesdays until 3:00. Additional times can be arranged. Please see me to schedule. Free tutoring: National Honors Society offers free after school tutoring. If you are interested, please see me for a recommendation. Find a friend: I highly recommend forming study groups with classmates.

There will be a variety of activities and assessments throughout each term. Your grade will be a reflection of all of these. You will note that formative grades are worth 40% of the overall grade. This is because, like any other skill, you can only improve your Spanish by practicing. All formative activities and assessments are for practice and preparation for the more formal summative assessments (60%). *Please note the final exam is worth 10% of the overall grade (school policy). There will be a mid year exam which will be the equilivant of two tests and will be averaged into the term 2 grade.

Students are required to bring the following to class DAILY:

Binder (I recommend a 2 inch as there is no textbook for this course and you will be receiving many handouts) Pen/Pencil Access ItsLearning for resources. If you do not have internet access at home, please see me for recommendations!

Grading:**Mid Year Exam is worth 5% of overall grade and Final Exam is worth 5% of overall grade.

Course Expectations EForm: Issue | Date

* See Parent/Student Handbook for specifics on the student conduct code and consequences for infractions.

Class technology policy:

This class adheres to the school cell phone policy. There is ZERO TOLERANCE for the use of cell phones or other electronic devices in class. This includes communicating with parents/guardians. If a parent or guardian needs to reach his or her son/daughter, please contact the FHS front desk and Lou, the secretary, will relay the message. Students ARE PERMITTED to use cell phones in the halls during passing time only. They are welcome to check text messages at that time. Additionally, school is dismissed at 2:05. Students are free to use phones at that time. Based on the school policy, any phones that are out in class will be confiscated and turned into the office.

Things to be aware of in modern times:

1. Irresponsible use of translation software will be treated as plagiarism/cheating. Looking up a specific word is fine, however copying whole phrases or sentences is unethical and will be handled according to the rules in the Student/ Parent handbook. A dictionary is the best way to look up one Word! 2. Having a friend or relative who speaks Spanish write or edit your work does not promote learning and is also considered unethical. I expect to evaluate your learning based on your own work, and I must be confident that assignments are completed by you, and you alone. 3. No video or audio recording is permitted without the teacher's permission.

Make-ups and Re-takes:

Make-ups: Students are expected to make up work IN CLASS upon returning from an absence. If needed, the teacher may ask the student to reschedule and make up work after school or during a study within 5 school days. Re-takes: Please see Euros handout. Students may use class dollars to purchase a re-take as long as s/he: completes the re-take within one week upon return of graded assignment; stays after for extra help to review difficulty on original (must be a separate day from the re-take day); has completed 100% of the homework. Additionally, all re-takes must be done after school only on Mondays or Tuesdays. The new score will be scaled to an 85% OR you can earn half your points back, whichever will help you the most!

Additional Policies: Food and Drink: Water is welcome in class. All food and other drinks should be disposed of before entering the classroom. Academic honesty: please see student handbook. Academic dishonesty will result in a zero and an office referral. Classroom: You are responsible for leaving the classroom as you found it.
