Welcome to 8th Grade Language Arts with Mrs. Scullen!
Have a safe, happy, and relaxing summer! Best wishes for much success in high school!
Credit/Non-Credit Assignments:
Not all assignments are given individual letter/percentage grades. However, it is important for students to be held accountable for the work they are assigned. For such assignments, I will simply check for completion of the work. If it is completed to my satisfaction, the student will earn a check. If it is not, they will earn a 0. For every 10 such assignments, I will give students a letter grade. For example: If 8 out of 10 credit/non-credit assignments are complete, the letter grade would be an 80%.
Progress Book:
I strive to keep Progress Book as up-to-date as possible. It is not always feasible for me to load grades daily. Please know when you access grades on Progress Book that the grade you see is an "approximation" of your child's grade at that time.
If you do not know your username and password for Progress Book, please contact Mrs. Marilyn Croskey, Director of Technology, at 330-798-1110 ext. 545050.
Textbooks:
We do not have enough textbooks for students to have one of their own. In most cases we only have class sets. I provide more than enough time in class for students to complete their work. However, if a student does not get finished, has been absent, or needs extra time, he/she may borrow a book overnight. Students can pick up books at the end of 8th period, and they must be returned to me before homeroom the next day. Extra Credit:
Students have the opportunity to earn 5 Extra Credit points weekly by entering "Looney Luse's Word of the Week" drawing. Students are given a word weekly. They have to define the word, tell its origin, and write the word in an original, complete sentence. Their entries give them the opportunity to be the winner of a drawing on Friday mornings during Spartan Live with Tony C. We are having great participation!!
