Dear Students and Parents: 

 

 

 

 Welcome to my Class. This year I will be teaching, Introduction to Business Computer Applications or IBCA, Quest, and Robotics. These classes will allow scholars the opportunity to receive an Industry Based Certification. This MOS or Microsoft Office Specialist Certification will give all students the opportunity to certify in Microsoft Word and Power Point. Please feel free to call on me if I can assist you and your child in anyway.  I may be reached by email address, [email protected] or by calling 985 536-8450 and leaving a message. I will respond as soon as possible. Also, please visit my web page on the district website for more class information. Working together will ensure that our scholars will achieve success with a positive attitude.

Class Management / Class Discipline Approach

 

 

 

I take a Restorative Approach to discipline.  My primary focus, in conjunction with teaching and learning, is to build positive and working relationships.  My discipline management plan will be consistent with the following restorative action steps:

 

 

 

 

 

Remind – students will be reminded of rule(s) or directions
Redirect – students will be specifically redirected to the task at hand
Relocate – students will be relocated to either reflect upon (mis) behavior, calm down, or removed from a potentially disruptive situation (If necessary)
Reflect – students will be guided to reflect upon what happened, what could have prevented the situation, and how to make amends to the appropriate parties (If necessary)

 

*Further or more severe consequences may be assigned if disruptive behavior continues or for more serious incidents/offenses

 

 Note:  Severe disruption will result in immediate referral to the office and removal to In School Suspension

 

 

Grades 

 

 Students should check my Teams when at home learning.

 

 Grading System:  Students will be assessed in the following way

 

 40% Formative Grades- Daily Classwork, Class Assignments, and Homework

 

 60% Summative Grades – Tests, Large Class Assignments and Projects

 

 

All grades will be applied to the school grading scale found in the student handbook.

 

 I’m looking forward to a great school year!
