NEW STUDENT CHECKLIST:
PART 1
USING YOUR NEW STUDENT PORTFOLIO:
Notice there are papers in the left and right pockets of the portfolio. Papers on the left: (To be signed by adults at home). Papers on the right: (To be used with instructions for setting up your "Team Notebook"). Step 1 EMAIL YOUR TEACHER about these three things: (1) What I need to help me learn; (2) Some things about me to help you get to know me; and (3) STEP 2 PREP NOTEBOOKS. To set-up your notebooks, make an appointment with your teacher to stay after school either Monday, Tuesday or Thursday during our after school student support program. STEP 3 Parent Letter/Syllabus. Please review this letter and syllabus with your family. |

PLANNERSWe use it everyday all year. You are expected to write a goal in the "Note" section. Goals CANNOT say "Get good grades" since we already expect you to do your best. Instead set goals to build habits of learners. Examples include: Always have a pencil, get to bed early, eat all my meals, or raise my hand to ask questions.
|
BINDERS
Students are expected to have a binder with 6 dividers. One for each period. When students put new papers into their binder they should always put the most recent paper on top so the oldest paper is in the back of the stack. If students need help creating an organization system that works for them, we will schedule an afterschool support day to guide them.
|
LAB NOTEBOOK
The Lab Notebooks are identical for every student. This ends up becoming the student's textbook as we all build them together. Loose papers not glued or taped into the notebook will not count for the grade.
Students are expected to have ALL notebooks and materials in every class. |
