Social Studies
US History with Ms. Weeks
Posted 1/30/12:
Dear Students and Family:
Thank you for taking the time to review the following homework grading policy change and a review of information and expectations.
Homework expectations:
- All homework is to be completed. Students will earn 100% credit for thoughtful complete answers. Partial credit will be earned for incomplete work. Missing homework will not earn a passing grade.
Assessments are weighted as follows (This is a change!):
- Quizzes (40%)
- Tests, projects, papers (50%)
- Homework assignments (10%)
- Go to http://cc.skschools.net/ and locate the Team link to access homework for the Enterprise team.
- Students will write down every assignment in their planner, even if there is “no HW”. Checking the planner daily is a great way for your family to stay informed. PLANNERS WILL BE STAMPED INDICATING WORK NOT COMPLETED BY THE TEACHER. Notes may be written in the planner between teachers and parents/guardians as needed.
I will be available for extra help after school on Wednesdays until 2:50pm (please allow some changes based on teacher discretion).
