GR 10 UPDATES DEC. 10TH

Hello Gr. 10 students

I know that there are so many things going on these days.  Since your grade level was closed, we are going back to working online, but as i promised you this time it is more organized so you can really benefit and easily follow too.

1st Your online work will still be sent to you via emails or posted on your teachers' blogs as every teacher used to do.

2nd You are asked to attend online classes that follow the schedule posted above. This means every day you have to go online at the set timings on your section's schedule and join in the online discussion session your subject teacher will hold during the scheduled time.
Classes are held online via Skype...
During your online classes attendence will be taken. Participation grades will be collected from your attendence and actual participation. Your teacher might give you a graded warm up so you have to act as if YOU ARE IN A CLASS as grades are being collected.
The classes are held as an open discussion time for questions that you do not understand about the new material that will still be sent to you via emails or teachers'blogs.

In order to start attending your classes, you have to create a skype account and add all your teachers to your account (follow the procedures below to create your skype account and learn how to proceed in using it)

3rd You have posted above a special schedule for tests and quizzes.  During these scheduled timimgs you have to be online at this time to recieve your quiz, slove it, and send it back before the end of the set period time on your schedule. If you fail to meet the deadline (the end of the period time) you will automatically recieve a zero on that quiz/test ... no excuses and definitely no make ups will be allowed.

If there is a legitimate reason that you will not be able to attend one of your online classes, you have to notify me and explain the reason so I can give you a valid excuse to present to your teachers in order to be allowed to make up the work you missed.

Your online school days starting Sunday December 13th will be normal school days during which test and quiz, class participation, homework, and behavior grades will be collected. During the session times YOU HAVE TO:
1. Attend on time.
2. Actively participate.
3. Solve your warm up.
4. Behave well in order not to lose behavior grades.
5. Be attentive and ready to answer questions.
5. Be ready with your homework on time.

Though this will be a challenging time I am sure you will live up to the challenge.  Good luck on your school work.

Again, feel free to contact me at anytime with any questions or concerns you may have.
