    Expectations and Extra Help: S ​ tudents will be interacting with one
    another through class discussions, group work, and performance
    activities; therefore, it is important that students understand the
    necessity of listening to and respecting one another’s responses and
    opinions​. Students are expected to advocate for themselves and ask
    for help when they need it.​ Extra help will be available during school
    hours and after school by appointment.​ There will be a weekly
    sign-up sheet for extra help posted at the front of the classroom

    Homework: ​Skill mastery often requires struggle and practice. Because


    students have busy lives outside of school, homework is not arbitrarily
    assigned; it is often connected to a larger project or directly utilized for
    an assessment. For many students, the completion of homework
    directly affects their ability to participate in class discussions and do
    well on assessments. H ​ omework assignments will be announced at
    the end of the class period and posted on the class blog. ​Students
    usually have several days to complete assignments.

    Grading Policy:​ Grades are utilized to assess skill mastery. Students


    will be assessed on a frequent basis and grades will be posted to
    PowerSchool. Quarterly grades will be based on formal assessments
    of reading comprehension and writing skills as well as the completion
    of class assignments. Active class participation is necessary for a
    student to maximize the learning experience. Active participation
    includes preparedness, answering and posing text-based questions,
    participating in discussions and activities, attendance/promptness,
    ability to stay on task, and overall classroom behavior.

    English Department Grades 6-12 Grading Policy


    ➢ Assessments: 70%
    ➢ Independent Practice: 25%
    ➢ Homework: 5%

    Statement of Integrity:​ The English Department of the Smithtown Central School District expects the highest conduct from its students.
    We encourage all our students to work hard and to do their own research and writing for homework, special assignments, or projects. Any
    evidence of plagiarism may result in no credit for the assignment. Unless explicitly designated as a collaborative activity, all assignments
    are reflections of an individual’s work. This includes homework. Students caught using material they did not create themselves (such as
    reading notes taken from an Internet Resource or copied from a friend) may not get credit for that assignment. Exams and other
    assessments should be considered opportunities for a student to show what he or she has learned over the course of the unit, semester or
    year. During any assessment, if the student is caught using any kind of electronic device (including but not limited to cell phones) or has
    an electronic device out, the student may automatically fail the exam. Therefore, cell phones and other electronic devices should be left at
    home or in the student’s locker during exams. In addition, attempting to give or receive assistance in any form during an assessment may
    result in a failing grade for all parties involved.
