Things you need to know:

Oral or written homework will be assigned as frequently as needed to help you to preview or review. It could be a mini video/Youtube clip, a song or culture-related material.

Various forms, both written and oral, of quizzes,tests, raps, skits, games and projects will be used to assess vocabulary acquisition, grammatical structure and cultural understanding.

 

Students not submitting assignments (VHS guidelines)

1. The teacher will speak with the student (physically in school) or email the student directly to inquire why an assignment is missing. 
2. If a student doesn't respond to the teacher, or doesn't turn in assignments for two (2) days in a row, the teacher will email and/or call the parents.
3. If, after contacting the student and parents, assignments continue to remain missing, reach out to the school counselor/case manager/administration and a phone conference will occur with the parents and student.
