Ferraraland Helpful Hints

1. All college prep students must score a minimum of 70% on all assignments and projects (tests). If they do not score a 70% they will receive a zero for the assignment.  They must re-take or re-submit the same assignment at least once in order to have a score enter on Home Access (the grade book).
2. All honor students must score a minimum of 80% on all assignments and projects (tests). If they do not score an 80% they will receive a zero for the assignment. They must re-take or re-submit the same assignment at least once in order to have a score enter on Home Access (the grade book).
3. All students have one week to re-take or re-submit any assignment, project, or test they did not score the minimum required score (70% for college prep and 80% for honors). Parents/guardians must contact me at dferrara@neshaminy.org to have any extensions.
4. Students must re-take all tests or quizzes during their lunch period, study-hall period, or after school.
5. Each student must complete written study-skills for each quiz and test prior to taking each test or quiz. This will be flashcards and a graphic organizer.  These two assignments will be counted as their “ticket-in-the-door” assignment for each test or quiz.  If they do not have their assignments completed they will not be allowed to take the test or quiz.  They will have to schedule a make-up within a week of the original test/quiz date.
6. Students and parents should “visit” my web page on the Neshaminy High School site daily. Students and parents can see the daily lesson plans for each day, the handouts for each day, the assignment for each day.  Students can download materials and or view them in order to complete assignments at home.
7. Each student will be issued a textbook. They are to keep the school issued textbook at home.  They need to bring their folder/notebook home each day.  They are to have a writing instrument and lined paper each school day.
