The end of the first grading period is Friday October 18, 2019 at 4 PM. If your student has any missing assignment, they have until Thursday October 17, 2019 at 4:15 PM to turn it in as I will need time to grade anything turned in for the next day's deadline. This is a UIL rule and I must comply.
Additionally, from this point forward, due to UIL rules, I will not be able to take something late after a grading period closes. Grading periods close every three weeks.

End of the First Grading Period--Latin Classes
The end of the first grading period is Friday October 18, 2019 at 4 PM. Due to UIL rules, my grades are due at that time. Anything not made up or turned in to me by Thursday October 17, 2019 at 4:10 PM will not be taken as I will need time to grade anything that is turned in or re-done before the next day. Please check Skyward as most grades are up to date.
Additionally, due to UIL rules, I will no longer be able to allow re-takes or late work after a grading period has closed. Grading periods are every three weeks, so, once that grading period closes, students will no longer be able to turn in late work or re-take a test or quiz from that three week time frame. The only exceptions will be for when a student is absent.

Latin Supplies
If you are taking Latin this school year, here is the list of supplies you will need:
Latin Supplies:
Latin II PAP Students
We will be reading excerpts from Edith Hamilton's Mythology. I have a class set, but they cannot be taken out of the classroom or written on. If you like to highlight or write notes in your books, I recommend you get a personal copy.
Latin III PAP Students
We will be reading excerpts from Edith Hamilton's Mythology. I have a class set, but they cannot be taken out of the classroom or written on. If you like to highlight or write notes in your books, I recommend you get a personal copy. Students may also want a personal copy of Vergil's "Aeneid" for the same reason; they will need the version published by Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers.
We are always looking for donations: notecards, glue sticks, pencils, pens, and highlighters will be very helpful this year as we create interactive notebooks for learning.

Exams are coming....
Exams are four weeks away for most GCISD secondary students; three weeks away for students in the zero hour class and seniors.
We are still learning in all Latin classes. Work is still being done and tests and quizzes are still being taken.
If you are missing a test or quiz, please see me as soon as possible to schedule a make up. If you want to retake a test, you also need to see me immediately.
If you have any questions, please let me know!

End of the 3rd Nine Weeks
The 3rd Nine Weeks ends on Friday March 8th. At that time, grades are due for all secondary campuses. There have been many absences due to illness and field trips in recent weeks and there are many tests and quizzes that have still not been made up and make up work not turned in. Please check Skyward IMMEDIATELY to see if you are missing any thing. All make up work needs to be completed by Wednesday March 6th at 4:15 PM so that I can have enough time to grade missing assignments and enter grades.
If you are a middle school student, you will need to come in early one morning to make up any test or quizzes you might be missing.
If you are a CHHS student, all make up tests are being sent to Panther Prep in the CHHS Library; if you don't know the times for Panther Prep, ask one of your teachers at CHHS.
If you are a GHS student, you may come to my room any morning during zero hour to make up a test. If you want to make up a test after school, please see me so that we can talk. If I cannot stay after school, tests are put in Extended Day.
Any test, quiz, or missing assignment not turned in by Wednesday March 6th at 4:15 PM will be entered as a zero and the nine weeks grade will be calculated that way.

The Next Three Weeks
The 3rd Nine Weeks ends on Friday March 8th, when we leave for Spring Break. I need to touch base with everyone regarding a few reminders:
Late Work
I take one late paper per grading period for a maximum grade of a 70. If there are extenuating circumstances, please come and talk to me so that we can figure out a course of action.
Make Up Work
When you are absent, it is imperative that you come talk to me when you come back to class. If you do not come and see me, you may be missing work. I will, with the student's input, set a reasonable due date for the return of all make up work.
Make Up Tests for GHS Students
Likewise, when you miss a test, it is extremely necessary that you talk to me about scheduling that test or quiz. I can always accommodate make up tests in my classroom during zero hour; I am usually in my room by 7 AM. If you need an afternoon time for making up a test, I will need to consult my schedule: often times I have meetings after school. When this is the case, I can put a make up test in Extended Day for GHS students.
Make Up Tests for CHHS Students
If you are a CHHS student and you missed a test, I have likely sent it to Mrs. Davis for her to put it in Panther Prep. You will need to discover the scheduled times for Panther Prep in order to make up a test or quiz in a timely manner.
Make Up Tests for Middle School Students
Make up tests for middle school students will have to happen before the start of zero hour.
Retaking Tests
In addition to one late assignment per grading period, students are also allowed to retake one failing test grade for a maximum grade of a 70; the new test is graded and the score is calculated at 70% of that grade. Students need to talk to me about retaking a test before we will schedule it. Tutorials must be done before I will allow any retake.

Happy New Year!
As our new semester begins, I would like to remind you of some policies that have been in place since we started the school year:
1. Cell phones and other digital devices are to be put away while we are learning, unless I specify that you may have it out. While these devices are wonderful and can enhance learning and instruction, they are more of a distraction than we care to admit.
2. Per nine weeks, each student may turn in one late assignment for a maximum grade of a 70 and it will only be taken one class period late.
3. Students may retake one failing test or quiz grade for a maximum retake grade of a 70.
4. Students wanting tutorials should schedule a time with me.
