Using Technology Successfully:
You must make prior arrangements with me, the principal and your parents or
guardians prior to bringing any electronic devices into the classroom. Tablet/laptop
use is acceptable if and only if:
- The principal approves your device use request
- Your parent/guardian signs a release form exempting the school and I from device
security
- You have a means to submit your class notes and all related work completed on
the tablet daily
- Your device is free of materials deemed inappropriate by school policy or
local/federal law
We will employ the use of technology a number of ways in support of the face-toface classroom:
Access the Class Website:
Lecture notes, specifics about active and completed assignments and even rubrics
will be found at this Web site. You can already access previous assignments at this
link for your review. Reviewing past assignments can be a handy way to improve
your pre-portfolio grade.

Redemption Opportunities:
Under some circumstances, you can redo assignments that you fail. It is important
to note that:
- the highest grade you can have for a make-up is 80%
-All pages where note taking begins should contain the basic header used in
ELA class.
Notes must be in your best handwriting and have header indicating what the
notes are about.
Vocabulary notebooks should contain the words from the vocabulary lessons
for that particular week.
