Are study guides provided to students? How can I help my student study?
Yes. Each unit test has a corresponding study guide. These will be assignments in google classroom. Have him/her show you the study guide and practice with your student. Pay particular attention to vocabulary for earth science.
How will I know when a test is scheduled?
Tests will be announced in google classroom and posted on the calendar generally a week before the test date.
What is the school policy for late work?
Students are expected to turn in their work by the due dates. However, if a student turns in work late late it will result in a 30% score reduction. Please understand that late work is graded last.
How can I check to see if my student's work is complete before he/she turns it in?
If your student has not yet turned in the assignment simply look over the questions with him/her. If it has been turned in already, but not yet graded your student can "unsubmit" so that you can see the work. If blank assignments are turned in I will note it in the comments and return to your student to complete.
What should my student do if he/she turned something in by mistake but isn't finished?

How does my student turn in an assignment?
Go to Classwork, click on the assignment, click "View Assignment" and click "Turn In." If the assignment was done with a partner or group my policy is that all students' FIRST and LAST names be typed in the private comment.
