Dear Student and Parents/Guardans,
I ook forward to ths year as a year of growth, chaenges, and accompshment. For those of
you who speak or have earned to speak a anguage other than your natve anguage, you know
t s a courageous act. Keepng n mnd that earnng a new anguage can at tmes be frustratng
and ntmdatng, I w try to create the most supportve envronment that w nurture students
and encourage them to be actve earners, to reect on ther earnng, and to take rsks.
In order to create a supportve earnng envronment, I hod the expectaton that each student
w strve to contnuousy mprove n each of the four areas of anguage earnng: speakng,
stenng, readng, and wrtng. Addtonay, vocabuary and grammar are mportant factors n
budng the foundatona knowedge of a anguage. These components of anguage, n addton
to persona responsbty, w be requred to mantan a postve cassroom envronment
conducve to earnng. Therefore, the foowng four areas of growth w equay comprse each
students grade (25% each category). A detaed expanaton of what each means can be found
on the next page.

/a=B>p/Lat @or=( Weeky homework agendas w not be accepted after Frday, because
students have the entre week to get hep and submt homework. Ouz grades beow 80% are
recommended to be re-taken unt the student receves above 80% or s satsed wth hs/her
grade. Pro|ects w be accepted ate, wth a 10% deducton each day t s ate, and at any tme
durng the semester for 50% credt. If any crcumstance prevents a student from competng hs
or her work, an ndvdua make-up pan can be deveoped between student, teacher, and
parents/guardans.
