Grade 8, Room 18 - Miss Alexandra Lake

7th and 8th Grade Goals and Expectations:

• Be prepared for class with materials and homework.
  • Homework is given on a regular basis.  It may be written, study, or both.  All homework should be completed on the night it was given.  It is the responsibility of the student to check homework daily on Google Classroom.  Parents and students may access homework assignments on our Google Classroom page using the student’s username and password. The assignments will be posted on a daily basis. All materials and homework must be brought to class on the day it is due.  If supplies or homework is missing or incomplete, the appropriate comment will be marked on his/her calendar.
  • Charging Chromebooks is nightly homework and very important for class participation.
  • If your child is absent, it would be a good idea for a sibling or a responsible homework buddy to pick up any missed classwork/homework assignments that he/she may have missed during his/her absence. 
• Grades:
  • Please refer to Option C for the test scores, missing assignments  (homework), etc.  Tests will not be sent home to be signed and returned unless requested.
  • Class participation is a very important component of your child's learning.  This will be assessed under the Effort and Study Skills section of the report card. 
  • Generally, extra credit projects are not offered as there are so many different opportunities throughout the trimester to demonstrate student learning.
• Respect yourself, as well as others.
  • To get respect, you must give respect!
• Positive Learning Environment:
  • Behavior should be conducive to learning at all times.
  • When walking in the hallways, silence must be maintained.
• Conduct Calendar:
  • Please look at your child's conduct calendar.  A signature is required when a mark appears on the calendar.  Accumulated marks may result in detention.  Please refer to the school handbook for details on this and other school policies.
