I am very excited to have your child in my French class this year.  Grade 8 is an exciting time.  I have put together a list of various expectations that will help your child have a successful year in French.

French Notebook:
Students must have a notebook or duotang for their
day-to-day work.  Notebooks should be neat, tidy and 
well organized.  Each page must have a title and date.
Hand-outs should be neatly placed in notebooks.

Homework:
All homework should be neatly and completely done 
at home.  If a student is unable to complete homework
they must see me in the morning with a written letter
explaining why their homework is incomplete.

Absence:
Students are responsible for  work missed
because of being absent.  It is the responsibility
of each student to speak to me directly or a classmate
to see what work has been missed.  Students may also 
look up their homework on this web page.

Textbook:
French books will remain in class.
Each student will have  a workbook.
Work done in the workbook should be neat and complete.
If a workbook is lost the student will have to pay
five dollars for a new workbook.

Projects:
To get a good grade on a project, students should
make sure:
a) work is neat, well organized and complete;
b) all projects  have a title page;
c) the entire project is clean and free of torn pages;
d) projects have a first and last name on the title page;
e) projects are handed in on time or marks
    will be deducted.

Tests:
If a student is caught cheating or talking during a 
test they will lose their test.

Behavior:
Good behavior will play a large part in determining
success in French class.  All students will be
expected to :
a) be courteous to both the teacher and
fellow classmates;
b) listen during instruction;
c) keep rude language out of the class.

All projects and tests will be sent home to be signed.
In addition to report cards and conferences, I will always
be available to meet or speak with you.  Parents may call
me at school or send me an e-mail.  In return, I will contact parents by
letter, telephone or e-mail.
