Parent+Information

-- **Parent/Teacher Conferences**: Although the school does schedule parent/teacher conferences every semester, which you will find on the calendar on the home page, I understand that these dates may not meet your needs. If at any time you have questions or concerns about your child, please feel free to contact me to set up a time to meet. I would love to sit down with you!

-- **Grading Scale**: I expect a lot from my students. I expect them to try their hardest; not to just try to pass. Therefore, my grading scale is a little different than most. However, I do believe that it promotes excellence from my students. The scale is as follows:

92 - 100% - **A** 83 - 91% - **B** 74 - 82% - **C** 73 - 65% - **D** 64 and < - **F**

-- **I will provide** the regular quarterly grades as required by the school, but I will also keep the students updated on their progress and will hand out progress reports every 2-3 weeks depending on what is due. Feel free to ask your student for these reports, or you can e-mail me and I will provide you with your own copy. I never want a students' grade to be a surprise to them or to you as a parent.

-- **I demand** respect in my classroom for all students. Any student putting another student down, whether it be for making them feel like they asked a "dumb question" or blatent disrespect will be sent to the principal's office with no questions asked. They will receive no participation grade for that day.

-- **I expect** all students to participate in class and will call on students who choose not to raise their hands! I don't want any student to be behind in the class because they didn't understand the material.
