The “Wright” Way 817/547-5296 Pamela Wright@birdville.k12.tx.usWebsite: go to NRMS, then GRADE 7 – I’m at the bottom of the list!
Born into typical “leave it to beaver” family in southern California • Quickly perfected my “tiger face” which has transformed into my current stern “teacher face”!
Always smart, an early reader and excellent student, I was patient when My mother tried hard to make me “cute”
but like many of you, middle school was not kind to my “looks” • Grade 8 High school a little better College too…
School was my refuge, and I excelled intellectually all through college
the cutest granddaughter ever, and a grandson due in November!
Classroom Rules and Regs Expectations: Follow Directions, Show Respect, Always have supplies and do not borrow from neighbors, Be Prompt, Prepared and Positive • Tardies:At the third tardy for the SEMESTER, student will receive a classroom detention and I will contact parents. Subsequent tardies will result in office referral. Gum– NONE – consequence will be one warning, then student will scrape desks Cell Phones– Sound off, NEVER used in class; this means that as soon as you cross classroom threshold, phone is out of sight until you leave. Consequence will be that student will forfeit cell phone for the day ( I will lock in my desk)and student must remember to come by after school to retrieve Homework: See NRMS Redo Policy online and in brochure. I do not give homework passes/coupons, etc. because I try to limit homework to reading not finished in class, studying for tests, or lengthy writing assignments. Classwork:Classwork may be done in pencil or pen, printing or cursive, whatever is best for the student. I do not accept work that has doodles and/or drawings, so if you are a doodler, keep other paper handy! Final drafts of writings are always typed (see my website or e-mail me).
Bring Every Day • Pencil (and extra lead if mechanical) • Index Cards • Ink Pens (Blue/black for writing, any color for corrections) • Highlighters – 3 different colors • Eraser NOT on pencil • Markers • Notebook Paper (prefer college rule but any OK) • Colored Pencils • Planner • Folder with prongs and pockets • Book to Read • Binder with at least 6 dividers • Spiral notebook (will be kept in classroom)
Other Information • Every student will have a Literature text to keep • at home • All papers MUST have FULL headings for credit: • Name, class period, subject, date • Every student will have a grammar workbook; this will be used on an as-needed basis, so it must be kept at school in locker or in binder • All work must be kept in binder until told otherwise (this helps with grading issues)
Pre AP Only - • Must purchase the following books: • PreAP Summer Reading Reminder: Truesight project due September 7th • If you need help, see me before or after school (not Friday, September 3!)
