CLASSROOM POLICIES

Please, check the school‘s web page where you can find the most important information regarding Spanish homework, projects or presentations.
Classwork is very important in this course, because I can value the progress, the productions and effort of each student.
Any make-ups must be done within 5 days of returning to school.
Other classroom and behavioral policies are covered in the student handbook.
Please, do not forget your textbook, notebook, binder and a sharpened pencil.
