My Philosophy • “Time on task is directly related to knowledge gained!” So, we’ll be busy! My Goal • Help each student achieve their very best and become informed productive citizens.
Materials Available • U.S. History textbook: This is a very heavy book so we will leave them in the class for use as a resource. Students may check out a textbook if needed. • Illinois & U.S. Constitution workbook (given out in March/April to all students)
Materials Needed Everyday • 1 binder with loose-leaf notebook paper • Pen, pencil, & highlighter Materials Needed Most Days • Scissors, glue sticks, & color pencils • Dry erase marker (any color) • Tissue boxes (give to 2 nd hour teacher)
Grades • Each quarter students will take a Pre & Post Comprehensive Quarterly Final worth 25 points. Students will show their ability to maintain overall details of major events and people from our past. • The Carriel Jr High School student handbook clearly describes the following grading scale: A 90 - 100 B 80 - 89 C 70 - 79 D 60 - 69 F 59 and below
Progress Reports • Student grades are available at all times online therefore I will not print them. • All families will receive a SKYWARD password to access this system (usually by the first week of September if you are new to Carriel). I encourage students and family members to check this often.
Assignments/Projects • Bell Work (most days) will be assigned and graded for each chapter/unit. • One Current News Event presentation is required each quarter. • Several projects will be assigned with firm deadlines (students will get a detailed handout in class regarding all projects). After assigned in class, the project information will be posted on my class board and on my website.
Assignments/Projects • Homework will reinforce information learned in class and will be assigned and graded. • The Class Website & Calendar will have all class information www.of90.net http://www.edline.net/pages/Amelia_Carriel_Jr__Hi gh_School
Absence • Students are held responsible for gathering, completing, and turning in all missed assignments related to an absence. • Students will pick up missing assignments with completion directions from the ‘Absent’ box located in the front of the room. • All students will receive a zero in the SKYWARD for all missed deadlines (whether present or not). Once the assignment or project is complete, turned-in, and graded I will update SKYWARD.
Late Work • All homework is due at the beginning of the class or it is late. • All incomplete work will be returned without being graded and considered late. • If an assignment is not completed and turned in by 3pm on the day following its due date, the student may be given a lunch detention to serve with me to complete it.
No Name papers – Recycle Bin • I do not grade “No Name” papers, they will be placed in the Recycle Bin until claimed. • If students receive a zero on an assignment, it may be that they forgot to write their name on it and they may find it there. Once claimed, students need to turn in the assignment for a late grade.
PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports) • Classroom Behavior: As a PBIS school, we acknowledge that there is a reason behind most disruptive behavior. The student, parent/guardian, and myself will work together to resolve a solution to put an end to all disruptive behavior.
Extra Help from parents and teachers • Classrooms are sometimes designed to benefit students who can sit still and concentrate. • Consequently, some students struggled completing homework, studying for tests, and organizing their work – these students need additional help from parents, friends, and teachers. • If this describes your student, please let me know so we can work together to quickly improve on these skills to increase their academic success.
Tutor Help • Approximately midway through 1 st Quarter Carriel’s PTO provides an after school tutoring program with staff members who stay after school to provide additional assistance with homework or test preparation. • Sign-up information will be sent out prior to the program beginning. The information and form will also be on our website.
Extra Credit • Each quarter students will be given information regarding several opportunities to participate in a community service project that will earn bonus points in my class. • I offer no other options.
Carriel/Mrs. Stutzman collects (all year) • Ink Cartridges (all sizes and shapes) – place them in a plastic bag and drop them in the container outside my door or front office • Tab Tops – Each Advisory will collect Tab Tops to help STUCO • Box Tops – Each Advisory will collect Box Tops to help Carriel’s PTO
