❶ 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 If the class fee is a barrier to your learner's enrollment, message me for more information about payment plan options and scholarship opportunities. 

❷ 𝗘𝗻𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘀 Learners registering for both the social studies and English Language Arts course of the same grade level in the same school year will be refunded $100 of their course fee. The refund will be made in the week before class meetings begin, at the time workbook links are being distributed to students. For learners on the payment plan, the $100 refund will be applied to the fourth payment. 

❸ 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 During Unit 1, we have two class meetings per week for five weeks, followed by a two-week fall break. We return for Unit 2, with two class meetings per week for three weeks and then a one-week break for the Thanksgiving Holiday. We return for the final two weeks of Unit 2, and then have a six-week winter break. Returning at the end of January, Unit 3 has two meetings per week for five weeks followed by a two-week spring break. After spring break, we finish up the school year by completing Unit 4 with two meetings per week for five weeks. 

❹ 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 Students will receive a virtual interactive workbook before the course begins. The workbook is created using Google Slides. Students will complete homework in the workbook and the teacher also provides feedback on homework in the workbook. 

❺ 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 No refunds of course fees are given after the workbooks are distributed. 

❻ 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗹 Learners enrolled in any of my semester courses are invited to attend study hall, held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons during the semester, at no additional cost. This is a time when students can get extra help with assignments, ask questions, work with classmates on group projects, or just log in and work on homework with other learners. 

❼ 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 Homework is assigned following each class meeting. Most students will need some adult assistance with the homework. Students are welcome to attend the course and complete as much or as little homework as they and their adult wish. In order to receive a letter of completion, however, students must complete homework in order to earn at least a 70 percent of better on their final grade.
