__** Expectations and Policies **__ > 3-Subject spiral notebook (to be used for 6th-8th grade) > > ALL students are capable of acquiring a new language. I will make every effort to meet the instructional needs of your student. You can encourage them by reminding them of the importance of listening, watching for nonverbal cues, participating in classroom activities and using online resources for additional practice. Please feel free to call or email ( m.hoffman@stonebank.k12.wi.us) any time with questions or comments concerning your student and his or her progress. > > Use of online or software translation services to complete writing assignments (unless specified by the teacher) is considered cheating. Translators will translate phrases word by word which generally creates an illogical sentence. Students should attempt to simplify sentences and use previously learned vocabulary to complete assignments. > > Sra.
