Back to School LetterDear students, parents, and guardians, Bonne rentrée! Happy back-to-school! Students, I’ve been thinking about you a lot and am excited to see you back in the classroom. Things may be a little different still, but I look forward to seeing you in person. Parents, Murray’s world language back to school night will be held virtually this year on September 22. Meet our language teachers, learn about Murray’s language program, and ask questions. Required individual supplies for French class:
Thank you and I look forward to another great year together. Madame Korpalski Class Rules and ExpectationsClass Rules
Folder Notebook (keep using your notebook from last year if you have it) Writing utensils (pen or pencil) Headphones are helpful, but not required as we have some available in the classroom Grading Categories & Weights Grading Scale Reading 20% A 90-100% consistently exceeding standards Listening 20% B 80-89% Speaking 25% C 70-79% meeting the standard Writing 25% D 60-69% Culture 10% F 0-59% not meeting the standard Late work and retakes: French homework will be assigned from 2nd-8th grade, but will not necessarily be assigned each class period. I highly recommend that students practice French each day at home, whether or not they have homework. Students may NOT use Google translate or any similar translators for their classwork or homework, as these tools do not demonstrate the language the student can produce on his/her own. It is expected that students meet all assignment deadlines, for both in- and out-of-class work. It is essential for students to turn in their work on time, as each assignment builds on the other. French classes will follow Murray’s policy for late work. Late work will be accepted based on the following scale: 1 class period late: a 10% deduction from scored work 2 class periods late: a 20% deduction from scored work 3 class periods late: a 30% deduction from scored work 4 class periods late: a 40% deduction from scored work After this time, late work will not be accepted for a grade. Retakes: If a student fails an assessment, s/he may make up the test by appointment. The student must fill out the retest contract (available under the resources tab on my website) which includes a reflection and study plan. The contract must also be signed by a parent or guardian. There is a zero-tolerance policy for cheating, per the Chicago Public Schools Code of Conduct (code 3-8). If a student is caught cheating, s/he will receive a zero on the assignment/test and a discipline report will be written up and filed with Murray administration. A retake will not be available in cases of cheating.
