- You can always reach me at home in the evenings (before 8pm please) by calling Ms. Cameron in guidance. She will give you my home number.
- All grades are subject to change during the 9 weeks. I have the ultimate say on grades. If your child does all of the assignments and never adds to the class, he/she will not earn a grade of excellence (A). Also, I spend every evening pouring over my gradebook and contacting parents to help struggling students; I am as concerned about your child's grade as you are.
- The Basket of Eternal Forgiveness is designed to help your child succeed. Students are encouraged to use it. More on this at Open House.
- Most importantly, grades are a method of communication between students and teachers. Your child must be challenged in order to grow. No one improves when under the impression that their work is perfect all the time.

Why can't I see my child's grade online?
OnCourse is a fantastic program and you will be able to see your child's grade online after the first progress report. With only a few grades in the book, I don't want students "freaking out" about their grade. I will keep them posted and remember........
Welcome to my blog!
Hello students and parents. I am teaching two subjects this year and I am going to begin the year off with just one blog. I will have many general items to share with you and it will be some time before I need to decide if we need one blog or two. For now, BLACK font is for both subjects, RED is for World History and BLUE is for Language Arts. Got it? Go Lions!
Writing for Mrs. Hubbard's Class
Students, these rules are non-negotiable:
Never misspell a key term, name of a character, or place, which is easily found in your textbook or reading book.
Never begin a sentence with the word “Because.”
Use quotation marks if you are copying directly from a book, or the exact words someone said.
Don’t capitalize letters in the middle of a sentence or in the middle of a word.
Do capitalize all proper nouns: the names of people or places.
Never begin a sentence with:
Also….
I think….
I personally think….
They
Because
And
Today I am writing about
This paper is about
Like when
“Paraphrase” means to put into your own words. You must always paraphrase unless you use quotation marks. Never copy word for word out of a book, or other resource. It’s called plagiarism and it is not allowed.
No cutsie writing like “waz” or circles or hearts on top of the letter i.
Writing should be within the lines of the paper: only capitals should touch both lines, lower case should be half as high. (It’s time for your writing to “mature.”)
Enjoy writing!
