    Communication: The primary form of communication between teacher and parent is email. Please make sure that
    you provide a working email in the space below. I will email! (Set up email on your smartphone for instant
    notifications and PowerSchool updates. Please let me know if you do not have Powerschool set up for YOU, and I
    will help you get that information.)

    What is your parent email? ______________________________________________________.

    Yes, I have PowerSchool set up as a parent, so I can track the progress of my child.
    No, I do not have PowerSchool set up as a parent, so I cannot track the progress of my child.
    I do not have a smartphone or internet.

    Course Description: Honors English I is a study of literature genres, writing modes, vocabulary, and grammar. There
    is an NC Final Exam at the end of the year in May. All North Carolina Standard Course of Study Standards for English
    Language Arts can be found online at schsfa.weebly.com.

    Grading Policy (very important): This course uses standards based grading, which allows students to track their
    mastery of each North Carolina Standard Course of Study Standard for English 9-10, so at any moment your student
    knows exactly what they can and cannot do in this class. In order to assign a numerical value to their English I skill
    set, the following scale will be used*:

    3.75-4.0 (Eng. /Civ.) 3.25-3.74 (Eng./Civ.) 2.5-3.24 (Eng. /Civ.) 1.75-2.0 (Eng. /Civ.) 1-1.74 (Eng. /Civ.) 0
    Advanced Mastery Mastery Proficient Developing Emerging

    complex deeper complete partial minimal
    application of understanding of understanding of understanding of understanding of
    course standards course standards course standards course standards course standards
    with assistance

    *The above scale is what you will see in PowerSchool; however, their report card will reflect the traditional letter
    grade that you are used to seeing. A conversion chart can also be found on schsfa.weebly.com by clicking on
    Grading Standards.

    Reassessment (very important): Students are allowed to reassess any standard taught during a quarter until two
    weeks before the end of each quarter. Reassessment is entirely student driven and initiated. There are three things
    they must do to reassess.
    1. Complete an event request in Google Calendar for a scheduled time DURING CAREER PREP at the end of each
    school day. I will either respond yes or no to the requested time. If no, the student will need to choose
    another time. (Students will be taught how to do this.)
    2. Complete a Request to Reassess form.
    3. Provide documentation of completed activities in their data notebooks. The directions for activities can be
    found on Google Classroom.

    Supplies: Supplies will stay in students binders on a shelf in the classroom and serve as data notebooks for me, the
    student, the English Department, administration, and YOU! If you have any trouble at all obtaining supplies, please
    contact me using the information at the top of the syllabus. I am more than willing to help you in any way. You may
    write your name on everything but the binder! I have labels for the students.

    Computers: SCHS prides itself on being able to issue each student a computer at the beginning of the year barring
    the required forms have been completed and returned (5 total) by August 24th. If the student does not respect the
    computer, privileges will be revoked by our Technology Staff, which poses a HUGE PROBLEM for our class. All of our
    work is posted online, including directions and necessary readings and videos. Please make sure that your student
    treats the computer with respect by using the case, avoiding stickers or writing on it, and not throwing it down in a
    book bag, etc. These are required in class each day.

    Internship: We are so excited to welcome Ms. Becca Wilson as our Western Carolina University Intern for the 2017-
    2018 school year. She will observe during the fall and teach in the spring. We cant wait to show her our best and
    then some!

    Behavior Policy: We will follow the expectations outlined in SCHSs Student Code of Conduct, which can be found in
    the SCHS Student Handbook sent home at the beginning of the year. Please review this, as well as the referral
    process, at home. There will be a zero tolerance policy for misbehavior while a substitute is present. Any names left
    by a substitute will result in automatic office referral. We will positively represent our class at all times, including in
    the hallways, Media Center, lunchroom, or assemblies.

    Classroom Expectations
    1. We will respect the students right to learn and the teachers right to teach.
    2. We will be where we are supposed to be when we are supposed to be there.
    3. We will be prepared to learn and teach.
    4. We will follow the rules NO MATTER WHAT.

    Consequences
    1. Warning/possible parent email
    2. Detention/parent email (before or after school for 10 minutes)
    3. Double detention/parent email (before or after school for 20 minutes)
    4. Office referral

    **Cell phones are not allowed unless otherwise stated. We follow SCHSs discipline policy for phones. They need to
    be put away unless the teacher specifically addresses the class and allows them. Please be aware of this. This
    includes earbuds.**

    Please sign below stating that you have read, understand, and will abide by the policies and procedures for
    English I. If you have any questions, please let me know.
