| Silent Uninterrupted Reading for Enjoyment (SURE), which takes place on all regular-bell-schedule days, provides a 15-minute time period immediately following lunch when students and staff can read for enjoyment without interruption. (In lieu of SURE, some students elect to obtain Peer Tutorial Help or to take part in certain specialized jobs or groups.) The basic rules of the SURE program are as follows: • Everyone, staff and students, should be reading. • You may read a fiction or nonfiction book from home or the library. Textbooks and magazines are not to be read at this time. • No homework or written work of any kind is to be done during SURE. • In general, no bathroom passes, office summons, etc. are to be issued during SURE. • No talking is permitted. Talking, other disruptions, or failure to bring a book to SURE will result in a loss of 5 points. |

•Two ninety (90) minute blank cassettes: (laboratory exercises on one tape as homework; second tape for speaking) These are an essential part of learning to speak fluently and comprehend spoken French.
ATTENDANCE: (required every day) You are expected to be in your seat and ready when the bell rings or you will be marked tardy. Tardies will be excused only if you present a note from a school staff member. Remind your parents to phone the school when you have been absent so you will receive credit for make up work. Regular attendance is essential to learning a foreign language AND earning participation points.
PASSES: You are allowed out of class only for emergencies with a written pass signed by me. The passing periods are designed for using the "toilettes" and picking up books, notebooks, and homework from your "casier". If you forget any of these materials see above) you will not be allowed to retrieve them. Your homework will be marked late the next day.
