Frequently Asked Questions
Can I turn in my homework late?

As long as the assignment was not checked out loud in class (ie: if Señorita collects it or checks it individually), homework may be turned in one day late for half credit. This policy may not pertain to graded assignments such as projects and papers.

What am I responsible for if I'm absent?

If you are absent, please do the following: 1. ask a classmate if any notes were taken in class and if you may copy them. 2. consult Señorita's binder to see if you missed any handouts. If so, take a copy from the "EXTRAS FOLDER" and complete it as you will be responsible for it at the time of a binder check. 3. confirm with Senorita that you may turn in the assignment due the first day you are back tomorrow for full credit. 4. re-schedule any missed tests, quizzes, presentations, etc.

How can I figure out my grade in Spanish class?

__Spanish 1__ Your grades are calculated using a standard points system.

__Spanish 3__ As you know, your grade is made up of three different components: 65% graded work; 10% homework; 25% participation. To calculate your grade, do the following: 1. Divide the total points you have received on graded assignments by the total points possible for those assignments. Multiply this sum by 65. 2. Divide the total number homework assignments you turned in (count those that were one day late as ".5") by the total number of homework assignments given. Multiply this sum by 10. 3. Refer to the participation rubric on the wall in class and decide where Srta. Mallinger would rate you in each of the categories. Add up the numbers from each category. 4. Take the final numbers from steps 1-3 and add them together. This is your approximate grade.
