    Expected L.A. supplies
    In order to be prepared for each class, please always have with you: your agenda, a pencil/pen, highlighter, homework which is due, a silent reading book, any on-going projects or assignments. Students should also have their binder with them with a section designated for Language Arts. This is where students will put their reading and writing references.

    Grading Policy
    GRADING POLICY Your Language Arts average is a combination of graded assignments completed in the classroom, at home, and during LAX class. This is the breakdown of categories.

    HOMEWORK=10%
    CLASSWORK & WRITING=30%
    PROJECTS=25%
    QUIZZES & TESTS=35%

    Please note that assignments are to be turned in on-time. Ten (10) points will be deducted for any homework assignment that is one class late. Homework assignments not returned after one class will earn a zero (0). Any short or long-term assignments that are turned in late will receive a five (5) point deduction for every day of tardiness. Note: Students with IEP or 504 accomodations will be graded according to specific student needs.
