Welcome Back!
Dear Parent(s):
As your child’s seventh grade language arts and reading teacher, I am eager to get to know both you and your child throughout the school year. The following is a brief overview of the grading scale, heading, classroom rules and homework policy. Please read through the material and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (630) 783-5007, or e-mail me at shayes@ccsd66.org , feel free to also view my blog through the Lakeview school link.
Sincerely,
Shannon Hayes
The grading scale is as follows:
89.5-100 = A 79.5-89.4 = B 69.5-79.4 = C 59.5-69.4 = D Below 59.4 is failing
Students must use the following heading on all assignments:
Name (First & Last)
Date
Subject/ Period
Assignment
The heading should be in the upper right corner of the page. If a student does not use a heading or it is incomplete they will lose 5 points off of an assignment.
An overview of textbooks and novel lists will be provided the night of Open House, Thursday, September 10, 2009.
Be in your seat and prepared to begin class when the bell rings.
Write down assignments at the beginning of class.
Raise your hand and wait to be called on when you want to speak.
Do not leave your seat or the room without permission.
Treat others as you wish to be treated.
Completing all assignments, including homework and studying for tests, is a necessary component of your child’s progress. Students are expected to turn in all assignments on time. Failure to do so will have a lowered grade on the assignment. Major assignments (essays, projects, book reports, etc.) will be lowered 10% for each day it is late. When a lesson/unit is completed students can no longer turn in missing assignments for that part of the unit, and will receive a zero on any work that was not completed during that time.
I am looking forward to a great school year! Please sign and return the below portion by Friday, August 28, 2009.

Welcome Back 7th Graders!
I'm looking forward to getting to know all of my students this year. In case you don't know me here's a little info. - I've been teaching for almost 10 years now. I spent 5 years teaching 6th grade LA/Reading and for the last 2 years I have taught 8th grade LA/Rdg. I hope to help the 7th graders have a smooth transition from 6th grade to 7th and equally get them as prepared as possible for the movement into 8th grade in the spring.
The family picture above shows off my darling Charlotte! She is the love of our life! She just turned one in June and I'm enjoying watching her become such a big girl.
Can't wait to meet you all this fall!
