WELCOME TO SEVENTH GRADE SOCIAL STUDIES!
These guidelines will help you to have a successful year!
I. Materials: Your textbook should be kept at home. Each day you must bring your assignment book, pen and pencil to class. A notebook with pocket folder for Social Studies must also be brought to class.
II. Homework: Written homework assignments must be recorded in the assignment book and are checked the next day. If you do not have your homework, you will receive a grade of zero. Late homework will be accepted for half credit only if submitted the next day. In addition, at times, you may be working independently on a long-term project.
III. Tests: Tests are announced. Chapter tests are given approximately every third week. The textbook includes a useful review section at the end of each chapter. Review sheets are given out before objective tests.
IV. Class Behavior: Arrive on time. If you are late, you must have a pass. Save your socializing for lunchtime. Be respectful of all other students in your class.
V. Absences: It is your responsibility to find out what work you have missed. You must make up this work within a reasonable period of time. If you are in school but absent from class, you are responsible for finding out what was missed on that same day.
VI. Course Grading Policy: Each of the following is used in determining a student’s quarterly grade for Social Studies 7:
- Tests/quizzes (50%)
- Essays / Projects (35%)
- Class Activities/Homework (15%)
VII. Parent Portal/Website
I encourage parents to check the parent portal often for test, essay, project and homework grades. Assignments and project sheets are posted on my website.
