****New Rules for Submitting Assignments

In the past, you have been allowed to text or email your assignments.  This has caused a lot of issues with lost assignments and frustrating and time-consuming for everyone. 

From now on, you MUST submit your Guthrie Virtual School assignments in the submission area on the Guthrie site.  Anything sent by text or email will not be graded.  This is much safer, because if there is an error, or I don't receive it for some reason, we are able to trace in the system if you logged in, attempted to submit or trace where your submission went. 

If you are completing something on Prezi or Glogster or Vocaroo, send the link to view in the submission area and that is it.  This eliminates the risk.  YEA!  No more submission frustration. :)

Hola and howdy everyone!  I'm Mrs. Church and I will be your instructor in this course.  Please read my class rules below to help eliminate confusion in the class.  Make sure you watch your deadlines and are turning in your assignments on time.  Your grade in this course is determined by a 50/50 split with 50% of your grade coming from your Rosetta Stone lessons that are completed and 50% of your grade coming from your GVS assignments that are completed.  If you come down to the wire and only have time for 1 thing and you have to choose between something worth 5 points and something worth 100 points, always go with the assignment worth more points.  :)  I'm looking forward to a very successful semester.  

Feel free to call/text/email if you have any questions.  My number is 972-352-0333. I can also Facetime, Tango (which is like Facetime, but better, because you don't have to be connected to Wifi for it to work), and Skype.  My Skype ID is hola.mrs.church  

Good luck ninjas! :)  -Mrs. Church

Class Rules

1.  Please let me know when you are absent due to illness.  It makes a difference in your grade when I see you haven't logged in and worked, unless I know you were absent due to an illness, (absences due to extra-curricular events don't count; see below).  

2.  If you are absent due to an extra-curricular event, it is expected that you still turn your work in on time.  The schedule is posted with the district and you are aware in advance of your absence, (and of your assignments), so work ahead, or work from home, but finish it on time...that is what makes a true student-athlete.  School must come first.

3.  I post your grades with your campus teacher every week, usually on Mondays.  Check with your campus teacher and make sure you are where you should be with your grade.  If you feel there is an error, let me know right away so we can get it checked.  Remember, this is a REAL CLASS and it DOES AFFECT U.I.L. ELIGIBILITY.

4.  Please submit your work the way it is asked for.  If I ask to turn it in by email, then please email.  If I ask to turn it in on the GVS site, please turn it in that way, because I won't be searching anywhere else for it, and I want to make sure you get your credit.
  
5.  Be inquisitive!  If you don't understand, please ask questions.  I'm here to help you! :)
