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
Classroom Rules:
1.Be in your seat and prepared to begin class when the bell rings.
2.Write down assignments at the beginning of class.
3.Raise your hand and wait to be called on when you want to speak.
4.Do not leave your seat or the room without permission.
5.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 0 on any work that was not completed during that time.
An overview of textbooks and novels will be provided the night of Open House, Monday, September 13th beginning at 6:45.
We am looking forward to a great school year! Please sign and return the below portion by Friday, September 3, 2010.

Period 6 & 8 Book Report
Just a reminder that book reports are due next Tuesday for periods 6 & 8 reading classes. Students are to create a comparison poster board in which they will compare their book to our classroom novel, Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pie.
Poster boards are required to have a minimum of 10 squares. Should be on large poster board with pictures easy enough for the whole class to see when presented in the front of the room.
The book report is worth 30 points and 10 of those points are based on a presentation grade.
I look forward to seeing some great reports. Students will be presenting their book reports beginning Tuesday, March 2nd!

Maternity Leave
In case you all don't know by now I am currently awaiting the arrival of Baby Hayes #2! I am due in about 2 weeks, but I feel like the baby could come at any time. Of course I will update you all once I have him or her.
I did want to take the opportunity to welcome Mrs. Becky Georges who will be my maternity sub while I am on leave. I will be on leave the rest of the school year and will no longer be available once I have the baby. Any questions about your child's grades, classroom behavior and/or curriculum should be directed to Mrs. Georges. Once Mrs. Georges starts officially in my position she will be given an e-mail address. You can contact the office at Lakeview to get that information.
It has truly been a pleasure working with this fine group of students this year. They are great students and I can't wait to see them next year as 8th graders.
