Welcome

Welcome to Middle School!
 
My name is Miss Maggie Richardson and I teach 6th grade Bilingual Language Arts (BLA).  This is my 5th year as part of the Middle School team.  I grew up as a Military Brat and working and serving others was instilled in my family from a young age.  I believe books are some of the best things we have in this world and I love having the ability to share them with students.
 
When not at school, I am off somewhere running training for my next race or spending time with my family and friends.
 
I look forward to a great year together!  Please feel free to reach me at [email protected].

Work Policy

Most work is due the day after it is assigned with the exception of projects and essays. Students are expected to finish their work on time. Students who do finish their work but receive a grade they are not satisfied with can, at any time during the same academic quarter, re-do homework or classwork for a different grade. When work is re-done, the two scores will be averaged for a final score. Extra credit is not given in this course.

 

Absent Work and Tardiness

If a student is absent, they are responsible for turning in all classwork and homework missed. Absent work will typically be due two days after the student returns to school, so if a student is absent on Tuesday, returned to school on Wednesday, his or her work will be due Friday. Overdue work will be listed in the gradebook as a 1 so students know it needs to be turned in. Assignments once they are past a week overdue will not be accepted and a grade of 0 will be placed in the gradebook.

If a student arrives late to class, they are to quietly join in and catch up on work.
