What you and your parents need to know about Ms. Pierce’s Class…
Class Expectations
Daily Class Procedures
Agenda Abbreviations The student agendas have small blocks for students to write their information, so they may use abbreviations. Here are some common abbreviations. TI = turn in BR = bellringer HW = homework WB = workbook TB = textbook XT = extra credit challenge PR = progress report MM = Multi-media presentation 9WE = nine-week’s exam PT = pre-test UT = unit test GPS = CRCT =Criterion Referenced Competency Test pp = pages voc = vocabulary ch = chapter Q = quiz WS = worksheet CW = crossword NB = notebook
If a Student Is Absent… Students are responsible for all assignments, even if they are absent. This includes the agenda and bellringers. Every assignment has a learning objective and is necessary for the students to meet the GPS requirements. I keep previous daily agendas on my board. Students are to look there when they return. It is the student’s responsibility to get his/her make-up assignments. The student should ask me for worksheets and arrange to make up labs and tests. Students have 3 days, upon return, to make arrangements to make up their assignments. This information is also available on my schoolnotes website at http://new.schoolnotes.com/jpierce/ .
How I keep parents informed of their child’s progress (& attendance incentives)… Each student will receive one extra credit point each day he/she attends class. These points will be recorded on a weekly progress report that must be signed by the parent/guardian and returned to me in order to cash in on the extra-credit points. The report may contain other extra-credit points also. Students will only get one copy of the report. If a student loses the progress report, he/she does not receive the extra-credit points. I try to attach a grade report to it every other week. The report will go home on Monday or Tuesday. If I am running late with the reports, I will notify parents on my website http://new.schoolnotes.com/jpierce/ and have students copy it in their agendas. The following section shows what the progress reports look like.

Closing remarks… The new year brings new opportunities for success. With support from home and school, each child has the opportunity for unlimited success. A parent plays the most important roll in a child’s life. I am asking for updated contact information so I have every opportunity to keep you updated on your child’s success. Please keep this document handy for further reference, and sign and return the attached form. Each student is required to bring the form back, signed, for a participation grade. Remember that I send a weekly progress report home. Please, ask your child for this document, sign it, and return it with your child. The child receives extra-credit points with each signature.
