COMMON CONCERNS OF PARENTS
How can I keep up with my student’s progress in Spanish
class?
Check their planbook daily. I have prepared a calendar
with all outside assignments, quiz dates and project due
dates. Please be proactive and check the calendar on a daily
basis to make sure that your student has the work prepared
for the following day. If you wait to get a progress report
from me, it is too late for late work to be turned in.
 My child says that they don’t understand because you speak in
Spanish all of the time. Students need to watch me as I am
speaking. I will use gestures, pictures, charts, cognates, etc. to
reinforce what I am saying and what they need to say in certain
situations. You taught them English that way, but they were too
young to remember.
 When are you available to help students? I am available By
appointment
 Tuesday and Thurs. 8:30 am - 8:45 am
Tuesday and Thurs. 4:20 pm - 4:50 pm
 Is there any extra credit available? In order to receive extra
credit, students need to be caught up with daily practice
assignments and projects. Then Teacher decides about extra credit.
CLASS INFORMATION
Thank you for sending supplies for the classroom (look on class info page in the website). Still in need
of white out, color pencils, and color paper to make copies (no construction paper)
TEACHER WISHLIST: Colored paper (bright colors) - students will like having their handout pages and
warmup calendars on colored paper so easy to locate in binder/backpack, whiteout, headphones
(even better with mic.)
Make-Up Work for Excused Absences: A student will be given 2 school days for every one day of
school that is missed in order to make up the assignment. Work assigned prior to the first day of
absence is due the day the student returns to class. Any quizzes or tests missed during your absence
must be made up during tutorials within one week after return. Work can be found online at
salgadosn.weebly.com and if an online homework was assigned, on Edmodo.
Late Work Policy: All late work will incur a 20 point deduction each block day. By 3rd block day max
grade is 50.
Retakes: Per departmental and district policy, a student may retake any quiz and the
listening/reading part of the six weeks exam. This must be done after 24 hours and within
a (calendar) week of the quiz during tutorials or FIT. When teacher gives the same quiz/exam, the
student must justify the new answers given. The teacher also has the option of giving a different
second quiz/exam (that still assesses the same objectives). The teacher will assign the higher grade of
the two to the student. There are NO retakes on projects so quality work is expected the first time.
WHERE TO TURN IN HOMEWORK (TAREA)? EDMODO WILL BE USED
TO TURN IN PROJECTS AND SPECIFIC HOMEWORK MOST OF THE
TIME. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR STUDENT HAS AN EDMODO
