FAQs
Late Work
Late work is accepted until the last week before the end of each quarter. Students will be given a specific late-work deadline each quarter by which all late work must be turned in.
Late work will receive a 40% grade penalty. Once class has started, if a student must leave the class to return to his/her locker for a forgotten assignment, the student will receive a tardy.
Any late or missing work is recorded as a zero until it is turned in. If the work is not turned in by the set late-work deadline, it becomes a permanent zero in the grade book.
Supplies
3-ring binder
Loose-leaf notebook paper
Highlighters (4 colors)

Absent
Extra copies of assignments are always available in the classroom. It is the responsibility of the student to ask for his/her missing work the day he/she returns to school.
You can also check the 6th and 7th Grade Planners Check to see what was missed.
Homework Policy
​
If students utilize the allotted class time, most all assignments can be completed in class.
If a class assignment is not fully completed by the student in class, it is his/her responsibility to see that it is completed by the next day either at home, on the bus, before school in the cafeteria, or before school in my classroom.
Wisely using time and managing time are key skills that seventh graders will be practicing this year.
Can I access my student’s email account?
Absolutely.
Your child’s account information should be available through the SIS Portal. If you do not have it, please contact me or the librarian, Mrs. Staley, and we will get the username and password to you.
Just a note: Your child’s school email account will only allow emails from other assigned Windsor C-1 users. No other Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, etc. accounts can get through to your child’s school email account.
Remind
One way I will communicate important happenings is through the text service Remind. This is not a requirement. If you would like to sign up for it, follow the directions listed below.

Retakes
If all work for a unit is completed, a student can choose to retake a unit test. Students are allowed two summative retakes, of their choice, per semester.
It is each student's responsibility to ask for these retakes and complete any remediation work required for the retake.
Class work assignments are not subject to retakes.
Reading Counts
All students must earn 25 Reading Counts point each quarter. The Reading Counts grade is figured on a 100 point scale (25 RC points = 100%).
There are no exemptions for Reading Counts.
Textbook
There is not a specific textbook for this class that your child will be carrying back and forth from school to home. Some of the reading assignments will be from a class textbook, but photocopies will be provided for each student.
Your child will be keeping a folder or three-ring binder that will house all photocopies of reading materials and assignments.
