    CLASS WEBSITE

    My class website is located at:  /Domain/3597

    There you will find various links, class policies, and reminders for work and various activities. The WORK AND OTHER NEWS is updated several times a week. Also, there is a calendar which will frequently show upcoming classroom tests and other events.

     

    HOMEWORK POLICY

    Grades are based on the following percentages:

    90 - 100% = A             80-89% = B                 70-79% = C                 60-69% = D     0-59% = F

    The following homework policies are in effect:

    • No points will be deducted on late work.
    • In certain situations, work may be redone. If a parent or student would like to request redoing an assignment, they will need to indicate WHY they feel a redo is needed and what steps they have taken to relearn the material. Also be aware that certain assignments will be required by the teacher to be redone. Redone work must be completed within 5 days if the end of that unit.

    Excused absences will get one make up day for each day missed. For example, if a student is absent on Monday and Tuesday, they will have Wednesday and Thursday as their makeup days and would need to be fully caught up when they arrive Friday.

    POWER SCHOOLS

    Greenbrier Elementary School participates in Power Schools. This provides parents a way to view student grades and attendance throughout the school year by simply logging on to our internet web site and entering your username and password. The web site can be accessed here:

    https://ps.dvusd.org/public/

    Passwords can be signed for at our front office if you need yours. A picture ID is required.

    Grades are updated at least once a week, usually more often. I strongly recommend keeping track of your child’s progress throughout the year using this program.  As sixth graders, it is also important that they begin tracking their own progress on PowerSchools.

    Greenbrier 6th Grade Snack Policy

     

    Greenbrier sixth grade students will have the option of having a snack at their desk prior to lunch. However, there are some very specific guidelines that are expected to be followed.

    1.) Students may bring in snacks for themselves only. Snack must be individual sizes to be consumed that day. This is to ensure the safety of others (who may have allergies) and also the cleanliness of the classroom (we want to avoid bugs).

    2.) Students may snack at their desk during non-instructional times prior to lunch. When the teacher is giving instruction, the snacks will be put away.

    3.) Snack appropriateness will be judged on an individual basis.

    4.) Snacks must be easily eaten and disposed of in a clean fashion.

    5.) The snack, eating of the snack, and disposing of the snack cannot create a disruption.

    6.) Drinks must be clear and in a spill proof container.

     

    Snack suggestions                                                           Not allowed

    apple slices                                                                         candy

    Pop Tarts                                                                           chips (Doritos, Pringles, Ruffles, etc…)

    Crackers                                                                             oranges (messy)

    Pretzels                                                                              gum

     

    Please be aware we are trying this out in an effort to be accommodating for our students. We have not done this in years past. For students to keep this privilege, the guidelines must be followed.

    Be aware the guidelines may change if issues arise during the year.

    Thanks for your understanding and support. If you have any questions, please contact your child’s teacher using the email address or phone number listed below.
