This document provides information for an English class, including the schedule, required materials, evaluation criteria, homework policies, and important dates. Students will have class on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. They are expected to complete summer work for up to one extra point on their first term grade. Materials needed include course books, notebooks, dictionaries, and electronic devices. Students will be evaluated based on listening, speaking, reading, writing, and grammar/vocabulary tests with weights assigned to each area. Homework must be completed to receive full credit and several policies around attendance, absences, and electronics are outlined.

5. Some considerations
Term marks and end-of year final mark will be rounded up and
down taking into account:
• work in class and at home
• interest and effort: participation in class, speaking English, optional exercises, …
• teamwork
• attendance and punctuality (-0.1), good behaviour, complying class and school rules
• don’t drink and don’t eat in class. (Do it during break time or in between classes!)
Really important:
• explain and justify your absences to the teacher (in advance or when return)
• exams will not be repeated on another date. In emergency cases, the parent’s phone
call that day is compulsory, together with the doctor’s certificate afterwards.
• Wear your watch. All electronic devices must be switched off and kept inside the
schoolbag, not round your neck nor inside your pocket!
