Welcome to 7Th grade Language Arts With Mrs. Stroud!
Back To school 2014 Contact me by: Phone: (951)736-3216 (I will get back to you in 24-48 hours) Email: vstroud@cnusd.k12.ca.us (I will respond in less than 12 hours) *************************************************************** This Power point is available on my teacher website!
Parent/Student info • My Syllabus (Found in student’s Binder) • Teacher Website • Class Procedures page (on website and in binder) • Text messages reminders available • Class news available on Q • When all else fails, ask Mrs. Stroud! (Never rely on another student)
Planners • Filled out a week at a time to plan ahead • Time given in class to fill out • Stamped by teacher to verify assignments are written correctly. • Must be signed nightly by parent AFTER verifying that the listed assignments are completed. • Master planner for CSUF is kept and available for all students to see.
Absent and late work • Absent work is able to be turned in for FULL credit. • Late work is able to be turned in for ½ credit. • All late and absent work to be turned into the brown basket with student’s name/date/ period in upper, right-hand corner. • With over 200 students, I get to the late basket every Friday. Please be patient!
Brown Cabinet • The brown cabinet in the front right corner of the room holds the extra copies of all of the hand outs from class fro the entire trimester. • The brown cabinet is self-serve. If your student was absent or has an assignment eating backpack or folder, they do not have to ask me or be embarrassed, rather just pick out the paper they need. • Located on top of the cabinet is the master schedule planner for verification of assignments.
Student Portfolios • Located along the side wall in the black crates • Students will fill out contact information should I find their backpack, assignment, glasses, phone, etc. left behind. • All work for the trimester will be graded and placed in their file. This way if there is a dispute about a grade on an assignment or if an assignment is completed, we have a verification tool. • All work will be returned at end of each trimester. • Work can not be removed from the folder unless to show me a mistake has been made. I will correct the error immediately.
Not in Kansas anymore! Middle school is DIFFERENT: • No named papers are thrown out • 7 different teachers, styles, classes, procedures, and classmates • 42 students per class, stay focused • Behavior expectations are higher • Organization is KING! Don’t procrastinate. • Block Schedule (I see your student for 1hr 35 min ever other day) • No meetings/conferences with individual teachers, only team meetings
