Classroom Procedures:
*No cell phones or electronic gadgets (such as MP3 players) in class unless used for class work on a permission basis. Tablets and other e-readers are acceptable as long as my students and parents understand that I am not responsible for the theft of any of these.
*Students must have a pass to leave my classroom at any time.
*No gum, candy, food, or drinks will be allowed in the classroom.
*Please be polite. Please respond with “yes, Ms. Miller,” “yes m’am,” or simply “yes.” I do not accept “yeah,” a shrug, or silence---so disrespectful.
*No bullying, cheating, or plagiarizing will be tolerated in my class.
*Neatness and legibility are required on all assignments, including homework—or it will be returned to do over before credit is given. Handwriting counts!
Cyberbullying on Facebook or ANY other social media will not be tolerated at any time of day or night according to Clay County School Board.
Textbooks:
The McDougal Littell Literature book and the Houghton Mifflin and Harcourt Collections series will be used for our 2017-18 literature assignments. There will be a class set of these literature books plus an online text for the Collections text. There will be ample time in class to complete assignments, but the online text is available for extended enrichment. There will also be a class set of grammar books and ample time will be given in class as well to complete grammar assignments. In addition, the Achieve 3000 program has been acquired by the County for FSA preparation which will be used on Chromebooks and in our computer labs.
