Course Overview:

Welcome to 8th grade Language Arts. This year, we will be covering many different areas of English ranging from writing essays, open ended questions, grammar, literature, one novel, and NJ ASK review (GEPA). Again, welcome, and I am looking forward to a positive and exciting school year!!



Grading System for Grades 6-8

B       80-89           Good
C       70-79           Average
D       63-69           Passing
F       50-62           Failing


Homework Policy:

Homework is given on a daily basis unless specified otherwise by the teacher. Students are responsible for handing in
homework assignments when they are due. Under NO circumstances will late homework be accepted (If a student is
absent, again, they will be able to turn in any missed homework assignments to receive credit). Failure to hand in
homework when it is due will result in the student receiving a zero. Homework is posted on www.rahway.net. Simply
click the link for Rahway Middle School, then click the link for staff assignments, and then click onto the name of the
teacher that you want. Keep in mind that homework is SUBJECT TO CHANGE and you should check you child's agenda
book on a daily basis.

Attendance Policy:

Students are responsible for all assignments (class work assignments, homework assignments, projects, presentations,
etc) missed during an absence. If a student is absent from class, it is their responsibility to get the assignment that was
covered during their absence. Students are expected to take all tests and announced quizzes on their assigned date. If a
student is absent the day a test is given, they are expected to take a make-up test or make-up announced quiz on the day
of their return. Students absent for an unannounced quiz will NOT be given a make-up quiz. Students will be given a sufficient
amount of time allotted by the teacher to make up any missed work for an excused absence.
