  3. What will your child be doing in Language Arts Support? • All of the Language Arts Support classes are changing this year! • Reading Comprehension (Mrs. Jimenez) • Writing Conventions (Mrs. Lehman) • Writing Organization (Mr. Felix) • Your child may be changing classes depending on what he or she needs help with the most • Changes will occur at the beginning of each trimester, not mid-trimester • All Support classes are held during second period so your child can easily move to the class that he or she needs! 

  4. What will the homework be like? • Homework is typically assigned only if an assignment isn’t finished in class or if more practice is necessary • Homework is written in the planner, and planners are stamped by Mrs. Lehman to verify that homework is written correctly • Most homework assignments will be stamped for completion • If your child’s homework was submitted and graded, look for both a stamp and handwritten score

  6. Is late work allowed? • Yes! • Late work is accepted until the Friday before trimester grades are due • Late projects will lose 10% of their original value for each day they are late • Regardless of when submitted, all late in-class and homework assignments will lose 50% of their original value (work must be complete)

  7. When can my child receive make-up instruction or extra help? • Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays • Before School (8:15-8:30) • During the First 15 Minutes of Lunch • After School (3:00-3:30) • Wednesdays • Before School (8:15-8:30) • During the First 15 Minutes of Lunch • After School (1:40-1:50) • Thursdays • During the First 15 Minutes of Lunch
