Mrs. Scudder

2018-2019 Academic School Year
Our Mission: Monroe Catholic Elementary Schools is a Christ-centered, Catholic learning community committed to the academic excellence and spiritual development of every student.

​7th/8th Grade ELA & 8th Grade Religion 

It is my goal to ensure that each student is challenged academically and grows spiritually. I am dedicated to reaching the maximum potential of each student and believe that can be achieved by incorporating various learning styles into daily lesson plans. Captivating and enriching the minds of students is my goal. 

I will be updating this site frequently to help keep students and parents/guardians informed on classroom material such as homework assignments, quizzes, tests, and written essays. 

Blessings,

Mrs. Amber Scudder


All assignments are expected to be completed on the assigned day. If an assignment is one day late, it will only receive 80% of the given credit. If an assignment is two days late, it will only receive 70% of the given credit. If an assignment is three days late, it will only receive 60% of the given credit. If an assignment is more than three days late, it will then receive zero credit. Students will also receive a deduction in their "effort" points for late and/or missing assignments. 

If a student is absent for one day, then that student will be given the time of absence to make up his/her work without receiving any consequences. For example, if the student is absent for one day, then that student will have one day to make up the work from the day of absence. If the assignment is turned in after the given time period, it will begin losing credit (as noted above). If there are any problems that may prevent an assignment from being completed on time, a note must be provided by the parent/guardian explaining the situation.

Conduct and effort will be monitored and followed according to the school virtues policy. 

​

​CONTACT
If a student is struggling with the material or has any concerns, please set up a time to meet with me. I want each student to achieve his/her maximum potential. Updates on classroom material and assignments will be posted to the class site.
