    Students: By signing this disclosure, you will be held responsible for
    understanding and following these guidelines.
    Parents: By signing this disclosure, you are acknowledging that you
    understand you and your childs responsibilities in order to be a successful
    member of the Frontier Middle School Spanish Class (Please contact me if
    there are any concerns or conflicts.)
    Hola amigos! Welcome to Spanish 1 offered by Seor Claybaugh.
    Espaol is an amazing language and you or your child will be placed
    on the road to learning it this year. This is a class that will require the
    students to be engaged in learning a new language and culture.
    Learning the Spanish language and culture provides great benefits in
    life such as the following:

    provides future work/career opportunities

    expands your social life

    becoming more culturally aware and well-rounded

    gaining a greater appreciation for the world around you


    and becoming better citizens

    your brain becomes keener and has more power

    it improves your native language (English)

    and much more!

    MATERIALS
    Students are encouraged to purchase a Spanish-English dictionary for use in
    and out of class. Dictionaries can be found for around $10. Students are
    required to bring paper, pencils/pens for class each day. If additional
    materials are needed for a certain activity I will inform them at least 2 class
    periods before, though this will be rare.

    GOOGLE VOICE
    The majority of homework for this class will be done using Google Voice.
    This is an online voice mailbox, which only I have access to. Students can
    call from any phone and leave a message. Students must leave their name,
    class period, and perform the task. They are allowed to leave more than one
    assignment per message. I will be providing the Google Voice number in
    class and on my website.

    ACADEMIC GRADES
    Students will be graded on completion and mastery of required material.
    Canvas assignments will be graded on completion, whereas Quizzes,
    Stamps, Exams, and Projects will be graded on the following 4 point scale.

    Students share the responsibility for their education with their teacher and
    are encouraged to achieve at very high levels. It is possible for every
    student to receive A grades if he or she will participate and complete all of
    the assignments, projects, and exams in a timely and qualitative manner.

    LATE WORK
    Any late or missing work must be completed before/after school or during
    Flex. The following criteria will be followed.
    Canvas Can be turned in until end of unit. Score will be marked as 0
    after the unit ends.
    Stamps 3 is the highest possible grade for stamps being turned in late.
    Quizzes Vocabulary quizzes are available for one retake for full credit.
    Exams
    Can be retaken as many times as possible with the highest score
    being 3.

    ATTENDANCE
    Students are expected to abide by the Frontier Middle School attendance
    policy. Students are expected to be on time to every class period. On time
    means they are inside the classroom when the final bell rings. Students are
    responsible for finding out what assignments they missed.
    Please refer to your Frontier Middle School planner for the school Tardy
    Policy.

    BATHROOM/DRINKS
    Due to the location of the Learning Cottages (trailors), students will not be
    allowed to leave for drink breaks. Students are encouraged to visit the
    bathroom facilities before or after class. Each semester the students are
    given 2 bao slips that they can use if they have a real need to use the
    bathroom during class. Students will be allowed to have small snacks or
    drinks in class unless this privileged is abused.

    CLASS RULES AND CONSEQUENCES


    Here are the classroom rules:
    1. Be Respectful
    2. Be Honest
    3. Be Prepared
    4. Be engaged in learning
    As a teacher I will follow by the same rules and do all that I can to provide an
    environment where these rules can easily be followed. The classroom
    environment will allow the students to feel safe and learn to the best of their
    abilities.
    Consequences for breaking any of the rules depend of the severity,
    frequency, and/or reason for the misconduct. I reserve the right to interpret
    and expand on these expectations as specific situations require. If a student
    breaks a rule I plan to follow the following steps in hopes that we wont go
    past the first step:
    1. Students fixes it.
    2. Teacher fixes it.
    3. Parent fixes it.
    4. Administration fixes it.

    PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES
    Spanish can be very demanding at times and students will need help outside of the
    classroom to stay on top of this class. As such, I expect parents/guardians to help
    students meet their expectations by helping them set aside time to complete their
    assignments, cooperating, to the fullest amount possible, when an assignment asks
    for family help, and being aware of their students attendance and grades. The more
    help and practice students receive outside of the classroom, the more successful they
    will be. Id like to thank you in advance for all the help you give your student in their
    education.

    CONCLUSION
    I am excited to work as a team with both students and parents to make this the most
    productive and successful semester we can. As we move forward I want you to
    understand that I think learning should be fun but, in order to have fun, we all need to
    make sure were following the classroom expectations.
    Mr.Claybaugh reserves the right to change anything in this document.
    Parents, please call or email me if you have any questions or concerns. Update your
    email on skyward if youd like to receive email updates on important things going on in
    class. Thanks!

    Depending on the misconduct and if we get past the first two steps, I will
    contact the parent via email or phone to inform them and/or make a plan to
    resolve the misconduct.
    Of course not only will there be negative consequences for breaking rules,
    but there will be positive consequences for following them. Different rewards
    can be given to students with exceptional behavior.
