Information for Parents and Students Grade 9 French Immersion Math Mme Allie McCleave Oromocto High School Room 123 Phone: 357 – 4015 Email: allie.blanchard@nbed.nb.ca (Please note that I am waiting on a new email due to name change and will be notifying you when this takes effect) Class website: http://mmemccleave.weebly.com EVALUATION : Tests and Quizzes 30% Assignments (Class Work & Homework) 30% January Examination June Examination 20% 20% MATERIALS: Pencils, calculator, graph paper, loose-leaf, three-ring binder, erasers, metric ruler, French/English dictionary. HOMEWORK: Homework is assigned daily and requires a minimum of 15 -20 minutes per day. More time may be required. Homework assignments will be checked or collected for marking without prior notice. Students are also expected to ensure that corrections are made to all daily assignments, quizzes, tests and projects. EXTRA HELP: Extra help is offered at noon hour. Students wishing extra help should sign up in advance and should arrive punctually. A sign-up book is located on the front chalk ledge of my classroom. TEXTBOOK: Please discuss with your child the importance of being responsible for the textbook. Lost or damaged textbooks must be replaced at a minimum cost of $75 each. OHS textbooks will not be distributed to students next semester until all textbooks from this semester have been returned in good condition. EXAMS: Students should work hard daily to avoid becoming overwhelmed at exam time. If it soon becomes apparent that your child might require extra help or tutoring, it is best to seek help right away rather than waiting. ATTENDANCE: Good attendance is key to success. If your child misses a Math class, he/she must catch up on missed work. Incomplete assignments are listed as “Zero”. Please encourage your child to be responsible for daily work. Thanks! WEBSITE for FI MATH Parents and students are encouraged to regularly visit my FI Math website at http://mmemccleave.weebly.com. Detailed daily class lesson plans, class work and homework are posted on this site. Homework and important notices will be posted in English under the “Parents” tab; homework and detailed lessons from the day will be posted in French under the “Maths 9” tab. Other valuable information for parents and students re: OHS and FI Math will also be located at this address. This is an excellent resource for student review and practice as well. FRENCH LANGUAGE: Students are expected to speak only in French in my classroom (as in all French Immersion classrooms at OHS) at all times during the school day. Your support and encouragement in this matter is much appreciated. I look forward to a wonderful school year with your child and encourage continuous communication to ensure your child is reaching their full potential. If you have any questions or concerns at any time, please do not hesitate to contact me through email or by phone.
