What are the Common Core State Standards?

• The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) represent
  a set of expectations for student
  knowledge and skills necessary to succeed
  in college and careers. CCSS will
  help ensure that students receive a
  high quality education consistent, from school
  to school and state to state. The
  development of the CCSS was spearheaded by two
  organizations - the Council of Chief
  State School Officers and the National Governors
  Association. 
• The criteria used to develop the CCSS were
• Aligned with college and work expectations
• Include rigorous content and application of
  knowledge through high-order skills
• Build upon strengths and lessons of current state
  standards
• Informed by top-performing countries, so that all
  students are prepared to succeed in our global
  economy and society
• Evidence and/or research-based.
• More information can
  be found at http//www.sausd.us/commoncore

Homework

• All students need to be responsible for their own
  homework.
• Students are expected to write their homework in
  their agenda. All boxes should be filled on
  a daily basis. Please check the agendas
  regularly to be aware of what assignments
  are due. If there is no homework, there should
  be something written about what was done in class
  or an X in the space.
• Assignments are due at the beginning of class,
  and will be considered late if they are not ready
  to be turned in at that time. Any late
  assignments will not receive full credit. All
  assignments should be neatly prepared and have
  the students name, date, period written in the
  upper right-hand corner.
• Every other week, we will be going to the
  library, where the students will be checking out
  books based on their AR levels. There is a link
  on the Santiago homepage to take them directly to
  the AR website where they can sign in with the
  student ID number. If they do not have computer
  access at home, they may go to the library before
  or after school to take the AR test. They will
  also have access to laptops in the classroom
  during their free time.
• This will be a
  requirement toward their reading grade.
