  1. Welcome parents! Ms. Barron - English 2 Academic joni_barron@roundrockisd.org (512) 464 – 6188 (but please e-mail!) http://rrhs.roundrockisd.org/staff/english/joni_barron

  2. A little about Ms. Barron… • Graduated from The University of Michigan – Dearborn (Go Blue!) with a BA in English in 2008 • I am certified in English Language Arts and Reading grades 4-8 and 8-12 and Social Studies grades 4-8 and 8-12 (minored in Psychology) • This is my first year at Round Rock High School! (4th year of teaching) • I am a creative teacher, and am dedicated both to bringing technology into the classroom, and to fostering an environment where students can be themselves and speak their minds. 

  3. Tutoring Schedule • I am available after school on Monday, and on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings. • Tutoring will take place in room 745! • I am also available before and after school on any other day by appointment. I generally arrive on campus around 7:45, and leave between 4:30 and 5:00.

  4. A note about Home Access… • Home Access is Round Rock’s service for checking your child’s grades! • You can access it from the Round Rock High School homepage. • If you are unsure how to sign up, or your password is no longer working, you can contact your child’s counselor for more information.

  5. Speaking of grades, how will my child be graded? • Every grade falls into one of three categories: • Major (40% of total grade – 2-3 per six wk—big tests! • Minor (60% of total grade) – quizzes, daily work, HW • Non-Weighted (0% of total grade) – usually compliance

  6. Another note about grading… • If your child is absent and misses in assignment, that assignment will be entered as a missing, or a 0, in the grade book. • This does not mean that I am unaware that your child was absent, or that your child will be penalized when the assignment is turned in. • Kids just never come in and make up assignments if they don’t see that they’re missing.  • This is also a more accurate representation of their current grade.

  7. Let’s take a quick website tour! • http://rrhs.roundrockisd.org/staff/english/joni_barron • I post all handouts and assignments, as well as the majority of my PowerPoint presentations.
