❖ TRF’s/Tutorial Study Groups pre-work must be completed before coming to class
HOMEWORK:
Expect homework occasionally, including weekends! Homework is an important part of
learning. The purpose of homework is to help you practice and inform me what we as a class may need
to review on. Some homework may be related to research on topics and connections to the classwork we
will do. Parents be sure to check and ask your student if they have completed their assignments.
It is the student’s responsibility to find out about and make up class work and homework during
an absence. Students should make arrangements with another student in this class to be able to call
him/her to find out about missed class work and assignments that you missed when absent. Students
should be sure to have at least two students to contact in case one of them is absent also. Homework is
meant to be practice and preparation for tasks, milestone task at the end of each unit, and assessments.
It is your responsibility to find out what you have missed and ask for any papers that may have
been handed out the day you return.
EXPECTATIONS CONCERNING SUBSTITUTES:
In the event that I am unable to be in the classroom, I expect you will treat the person in charge
with the same respect and courtesy given to me. (I am absent more often than other teachers due to other
positions I do.)
❖ You are responsible for all material presented in class. Even if you have a college class, you are
still responsible for completing and turning in assignments when they are due.
❖ You will be given 1 day for each day absent to submit missed assignments. It is your
responsibility to ask for missing assignments.
❖ Late work will not be accepted. All assignments are due at the beginning of the class period. It
is your responsibility to print essays or have assignments ready before the class period begins.
❖ Most assignments will be turned via Google Classroom
❖ If you have a serious extenuating circumstance, speak with me as soon as possible. Waiting until
the class period when something is due is not acceptable.
Tutorial (30%)
❖ Students will be graded on each tutorial session. Students earn points for their questions,
participation, and reflection during the tutorial process. Since tutorials are a collaborative effort,
students must be present and participate to receive credit. Students who are absent due to illness
may make up points by completing a one page writing assignment from a provided list.
❖ Tutors will assist students on their path towards arriving at answers, but they will not provide the
answers for students.
Portfolio (10%)
❖ Students will collect specified documents to be placed in a portfolio. Portfolios will be assessed at
least once per semester.
Grading Scale: Final grades will be assigned as follows (Raw Score Grading):
100% - 90% = A 89.99% - 80% = B 79.99% - 70% = C 69.99% - 60% = D Below 60% = F
Grade Checks:
Students are expected to turn in a progress report every week on Thursday. If they must do one for
sports a copy/scanned image may be turned in instead.
Technology Expectations:
Students will be assigned a Chromebook. In this course we will be implementing the use of Google
Classroom, as well as other apps that parents & students may access. For instance, Remind, Weebly
Website, etc. The Chromebook is a tool used in the classroom and will be monitored in the classroom.
Students must treat it like their own textbook, have it fully charged before coming to school, and use it
for school purposes during class, a low battery Chromebook does not excuse an assignment or
participation in class. Consequences will occur if students misuse their Chromebook.
TEACHER CONTACT:
The best way to contact me is through email: jemmalyn.peralta@salinasuhsd.org. You may also call my
classroom in the morning, lunch, or afterschool. I am also located in Room 813 in the mornings.
