WHITE DEER ISD

Every subject will have a minimum of 10 grades per six weeks.

Absences:

Student will have the exact number of days to turn in make-up work as days absent.

Late Work:

Work turned in late will be 10 points off per day.  After 3 days their grade becomes a zero.  We understand that once in a while we just have a difficult morning and homework is not completed or left at home. Therefore we give your child 2 chances, but the 3^rd time and from that time forward your child will serve lunch detention for not having homework. We are teaching responsibility.

Math Homework:

Most days your child will have Math facts homework. Your student must be fluent in addition and subtraction.  In addition, there will be a short homework page each night.

Handwriting grades: 

Student will receive a letter on handwriting, but grades will be recorded as number grades in the gradebook.  The music teacher and PE teacher may also be using a letter system.

Conference:  10:10-10:50

I encourage parents to conference with me when grades start falling below a B and we will need to discuss intervention especially when we start seeing several grades below 70.  Leave a message on Class Dojo or by calling the office at 883-2311 Ext. 1.  The office personnel will get your message to me and I will return your phone call to discuss any issues your child might be experiencing.
