  4. Requirements for ACSS To stay in good standing for AC classes: • Must maintain an 80% in their AC classes • Cannot be on probation for more than one 9 week report card during the school year

  5. Class Information • Homework • If homework becomes too much or your child is overwhelmed, please let us know. • Sometimes we don’t realize the struggles a child goes through at home to complete their work. • AC Hall Calendar • projects, tests, quizzes on different dates • Stress to students the importance of not putting work off ‘til the last day • Evaluations • Tests • Quizzes • Projects (rubrics) • Class/group participation

  6. The Key is … COMMUNICATION! Agenda Blogs BLOG/Agenda Color Coded:Test—redHomework—green Classwork---black Extra info---blue Pinnacle Email I always add a comment (reason given to me by student) if work is not turned in and/or is incomplete.

  8. McClure's Blogs http://cobbk12.org/McClure/ Develop a routine to check your student’s agenda, including Behavior Card, the BLOGS & homework each evening.

  9. Students are required to write assignments & homework in their agenda each day color coding it as I have on the assignment board.

  10. ABSENT??? Students are responsible to check BLOG and write in agenda what they missed. Then see teachers during homeroom to pick up handouts and set date to make up any work/tests they missed and/or set up a help session.

  11. WAYS PARENTS CAN HELP • Ask your student questions about class. Be specific and include “Why” questions. • Help student review for quizzes, and tests. • Be certain he/she gets plenty of rest. • Help student keep all social studies papers organized in the correct section of the binder. • Don’t throw out any papers, unless directed to do so by teacher.

  12. What materials will students need? Text book and other resources online: Pearson World Studies www.successnetplus.com Every day at school: Social Studies Journal Three ring binder Notebook paper Spiral notebook 3-4 #2 Pencils in a zipper bag 5-6 Colored pencils

  13. Students will sometimes have homework that involves using the computer.I will provide students with alternate ways of completing the work if they do not have computer access. If you have questions, please let me know.

  14. Thanks for being involved!! • First of all, thank you for supporting your child’s teachers by attending Open House. • Thanks to all of you who have sent in Kleenex, glue sticks, colored pencils, etc. • Also, once we start projects—students will be volunteering you for cooking, speaking to our class, etc.
