Welcome Letter

Dear Parents and students, 

 

Welcome to  the 2022-2023 school year! My name is Arwa Aljahmee and I will be your child’s English teacher.

I am planning for this to be an interesting , challenging, and successful year. In English class, we will cover a wide variety of  genres and continue to  build upon the reading and writing skills that students  focused on during their previous  years. This will be a challenge, but as a class we will work together to ensure success. I have high expectations and I insist that every student perform to the best of his/her ability . 

 

Students are most often successful when parents work together through conferences  , phone calls , and email. 

 

Course Description :                                  

 During the course of the school year students  will engage with literature and nonfiction texts and explore how complex characters develop through their interactions with each other. Students will also  read, discuss, and analyze poems and informational texts focusing on how authors use rhetoric and word choice to develop ideas or claims. 

 

Attendance/ Make up Work:

Make -up work will only be available for excused absences. Make up work will  be available for excused absences . The student must also ask me for make-up work . I will NOT give the student the make-up work without an excused absence and a request for the work. A student who does not turn in an assignment will receive a zero.

Each day your assignments are late, 5 points will be subtracted from your final assignment grade.
