Parent+Outreach

Thank you for visiting our class webpage!

Being aware of your child's educational experience is incredibly important, so understanding a bit about this class can prove beneficial in the continual support of your son or daughter's education. Below are a few key items to help you more clearly understand this class:

1. __Homework isn't always assigned__. Students in this course don't receive "homework" on a continual basis. As the class is very much self-paced, students find themselves finishing a lot of work during the designated class periods. However, ALL students work on book reports during each quarter of the school year. We also have vocabulary quizzes on a regular basis. Book report books should be read outside of class and projects should be selected from the Book Report Options document. Reading is the best form of regular basis homework in this class.

2. __Technology use is important__. We use technology every day in this class. Each student is assigned a laptop and all class documents are found online on the DOCUMENT page. You can access these documents everywhere, but your son or daughter may need a flash drive or jump drive to save papers, essays, projects, and worksheets that need to be finished outside of the designated class period.

3. __Excuses are infrequent__. Because of the format of this class, excuses for not completing work when a day is missed are typically unacceptable. All information necessary to complete assignments is found on this webpage. Every student in the class uses this webpage on a daily basis in class. Because of this, it is expected that students complete the necessary assignments at home when a school day is missed. Attention will be given to extraordinary circumstances, but it is the responsibility of the student to contact the teacher in the event of an extraordinary circumstance.

4. __Parental contact is welcome__. Please feel free to email, call, or send a letter to Mr. Good at the High School should you have any questions, comments, or concerns. I am more than happy to discuss your child's performance in class. Communication is essential for success, so having a better understanding of grades, assignments, long-term projects, and use of the website can be very helpful. If you're not sure of something, please ask.
