8th grade ELA Things to Know
Book Orders - Students will be given Scholastic Book orders throughout the school year and may order books by returning forms directly to me or online. The class code for online orders is LQCP6. The more orders submitted, the greater the size of our in class library becomes. Many students purchase books from Scholastic to be used in fulfilling the book report requirements for 8th grade. Surely a winning situation for everyone!
Cheating and Plagiarism - Parents will be notified if their child is caught cheating or plagiarizing. Work that is plagiarized will not be given any credit. Students will have 1 day and only one opportunity to re-do the work for 50% credit. When a student is caught cheating, deductions will be taken on the assignment at the discretion of the teacher.
Recording Grades - Students will keep track of their own grades in our class by recording them in their work folders. Grades are typically updated every few weeks.
Extra Help - If you feel you would like your child to receive extra help in ELA, please contact me directly to make arrangements. If need be, we can make arrangements for a tutor.
Unforeseen Circumstances - Please notify me if there are any unexpected circumstances that may affect your child's performance in school.
