Dear Parents/Guardians and Students : Although it all will look different this year, the passion in education is still strong! Teaching is an incredible and rewarding field, and I am going to give my 100% again this year! Your child should plan to do the same! I am happy to be meeting your children for the first time this year or continuing with them for another year whether it be via synchronous remote instruction or in person hybrid. I am looking forward to a very positive and successful 2020-2021 school year. We have many engaging activities ahead of us. Attached, you will find Information for Success in Global History and Geography Class as well as Cultural Studies Course. Please read its contents for information to educate both you and your child on how to best achieve and maintain success in class this year. The information clearly states the roles and expectations of both the students and the teacher. It also contains information about grading. . Even though traditional methods can be used to achieve excellent results, we are always embracing new technologies to reach our students.

Supplies for class: Chromebook/laptop fully charged for class or desktop computer HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT completed FOLDER (for handouts not provided digitally during hybrid)(notebook or binder) Hand sanitizer Pens, Pencils, highlighter Course Requirements: Because this is a Regents course, REGENTS QUALITY WORK is required. Regents Quality Work is written neatly, using specific facts and historical details, complete sentences, with correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Regents Quality Work requires students to analyze, evaluate, compare and / or contrast historical issues and events. Regents Quality Work is defined and mandated by the State Education Department, aligns with the NYS Social Studies Framework Standards, Literacy Standards, and National Council for the Social Studies Standards, and is necessary for students to achieve success on the New York State Regents examination, final exam, and in my class. Parenas@yonkerspublicschools.org Classroom Expectations: Discipline: I have very high expectations for students in my class. I expect students to be respectful of myself, themselves, and one another at all times. I also expect students to be respectful of the various cultures and places we study, the field of history, and the work they are required to complete. Students are also expected to be responsible. Students are responsible for coming to class prepared and responsible for completing all work to the best of their ability. Disrespect, intolerance, and irresponsibility are unacceptable and will result in disciplinary action. Students are at all times accountable for their choices and actions. Promptness: Students must be on time for class. There are no excuses. Tardiness will result in disciplinary action. Class begins when the bell rings and students do not leave class once it has begun. Attendance is mandatory. 914-376-8177 @ArenasMrs
Grading: I use a simple point based system that works well for students, parents and teachers which is easy to use. Grades are calculated using points. Each assignment is issued a point value. At the end of the quarter we total the amount of points given, and divide by the total amount of points earned by the student and that is the final grade for the quarter. Points are used for all exams, tests, quizzes, classwork, homework, essays, documents, activities, group work, etc. Point Breakdown: The key to this system is to make all assignments worth a set number of points, usually a nice even number that is easy to relate to familiar percentages. In this example, we see each assignment and its point value. More important assignments or categories are "weighted" more heavily simply by carrying more points. And if you make major assignments worth easily understood numbers like 100 then converting from a test percentage to points is very simple. Example: Test 1: 100 points Student Earned 75 points Test 2: 100 points 65 points Project: 200 points 150 points Term Paper: 50 points 35 points Homework: 50 points 25 points Total: 500 points Student Total 350 points (350/500 = 70% quarter grade) Homework is MANDATORY NOT OPTIONAL
