Señora Rogstad

¡Hola! Bienvenidos a la clase de español.

Hello! Welcome to Spanish class. I am looking forward to a great 12 weeks filled with exciting opportunities to learn more about the Spanish language and culture. I am available for additional help during my prep hour and after school. Please feel free to ask for extra help, if needed.

Grades are based upon total points earned. The three areas include:

Quizzes
Class work and homework
Class participation
- (This includes Speaking Spanish, listening attentively, working well with others, using class time wisely, following the classroom rules and procedures, etc.)

Late Work Policy

My late work policy will be consistent with the rest of your 7^th grade core teachers.

Late work will result in a reduction of your grade

If you had your work done but you left it at home, you will be able to have your parents write me a note or leave me a voicemail saying that it was completed by the due date. You may only use this excuse 1 time during this 12 weeks.

Discipline Policy

REFOCUS

This is a program used school-wide. It is from the “Time to Teach” program and will help our classroom run more smoothly. If at anytime your conduct disrupts the class to the point that I cannot continue to teach (ie you are not following the classroom rules or procedures) you will be asked to REFOCUS.

After 3 REFOCUSES or 2 in one class period I will fill out a discipline referral form that will be sent to the office.
