Grading

Your overall French grade is determined by your performance in the following categories:

The best way to do well in this class is to do your homework regularly, and to participate during class!   

Late Work Policy

Assignments will not be accepted more than three days late without a valid excuse   If you are absent from class, it is your responsibility to find what work you have missed and to turn it in the next school day. If an absence is unexcused, you will not receive credit for assignments due on that day.   You should also to quickly arrange a time to make up quizzes, tests, or writing assignments.  Points received on late work will automatically be reduced by 10% for each day the assignment is late.  Assignments turned in more than three days late will not be given credit.  

IMPORTANT:  behavior guidelines

Our French classes will operate now under the "three  Rs," which stand for Respect, Responsibility, Resourcefulness, Response, and Reaching.  Students will be expected to...

• ... RESPECT themselves, the classroom, their classmates, their teachers, and the learning going on in the classroom.
• ...be RESPONSIBLE for their own work, materials, and behavior as becoming a middle shcool student.
• ... be RESOURCEFUL, imaginative, and creative in solving problems and academic tasks.  They should make full use of the resources available to them both inside and outside the classroom.
• ... RESPOND appropriately, with kindness and maturity, to their classmates, teachers, and assignments.
• ... REACH for attainable but challenging goals by following the four "Rs" listed above and giving every assignment and activity their all.

If a student fails to adhere to the guidelines above, s/he will be subject to the following consequences:

• A student begins each day with five participation / behavior points.  If a students name is written on the boad, s/he will lose one point for the day.
• If a student receives a check by their name, they will lose two behavior points for that day and may recieve a call home.
• If a student receives a second check by their name, they will lose three points for that day, will receive a phone call home, and will have a lunch detention in Mme McCullen's classroom.
• If a student receives a third check by their name, they will be down to one point for the day, they will receive a phone call home, lunch detention with Ms McCullen, and will be referred to the main office for further consequences.  Any further infractions will result in the student being removed from the classroom.
