Dear Parents/Guardians,

This is my second year at Emerado Centennial School, and I look forward to teaching your children.  This year, I am teaching the 8MF homeroom, which includes English language arts (ELA), mathematics, science, and social studies.  I am also teaching eighth grade French, literacy, and exploratory courses to students who choose these options. 

My expectations are that my students come to class prepared to learn, and they are able to stay organized and finish their work at home if necessary.  I will keep my classroom blog current, and I also will post homework.  To view, go to http://missmfehr.blogspot.ca.  We have a lot of material to cover in grade 8 to get ready for high school, but I think we will have a great time doing it!

If you ever have any concerns, feel free to contact me anytime.  You can reach me by telephone at the school, 204.331.4533 or by email at melanie.fehr@gvsd.ca. I am really looking forward to getting to know everybody and to another fun school year!

Sincerely,

Melanie Fehr

Expectations:

1.       Come to class on time, with a pen and paper, ready to learn and share your ideas.

2.      Keep items in the classroom neat, tidy, and organized.

3.      Treat others with respect, and be prepared to work as a team.

4.      Always do your best, and ask questions if you are unsure of what to do next.

5.      Use your class time wisely, complete your homework, and hand your work in according to the deadline.  Class time is always given before an assignment becomes homework.

6.      Complete your agenda at the end of every school day, and have it signed by Miss Fehr before you leave.

7.      If you miss a class, pick up extra copies of the work you missed from the “Extra” folder near the window sill.  Ask somebody what you missed.  It is YOUR responsibility to catch up!

***LATE assignments can be deducted 2% per day to a maximum of 20% if you do not have an agreement with Miss Fehr for an extension.

***Cheating, lying, or plagiarism will NOT be tolerated!!!!!

Aspects of academic dishonesty include cheating (e.g., copying others’ work, using cheat notes), lying (e.g., misrepresenting contributions to group work, lying about circumstances to obtain extensions), and plagiarizing (submitting or representing someone else’s work as one’s own).
