Dear student and family,
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you back to Peabody High School for the 2016- 2017 school year. This is my 20th year teaching chemistry at Peabody
High and I was a student here as well. I live in Peabody and my children
attend Peabody schools. The success of Peabody’s students is important to me
professionally and personally.
I believe a respectful atmosphere is the most important factor in a productive
learning environment. It is essential all students understand this means not
only that they must show respect for me and for fellow students, but that they
also feel respected by me and by others in the class. Because this is so
important to me, I encourage anyone to speak with me at any time they feel
this is not the case.
The following percentages will be used to determine quarter grades:
Tests 35%
Quiz 15%
Lab 15%
Interactive Notebook 35%
The interactive notebook will include all classwork and homework. This is a large portion
of the quarter grade. This is indicative of how important it is to complete
them to the best of one’s ability. Notebooks will be graded on a quarterly basis.
Effort is the key factor in student success in this class. Ultimately,
students who complete classwork and homework to the best of their ability
prove this to themselves by earning commendable grades.
I will be available for extra help and make up on Thursday afternoons. Please
talk to me about other days as well if necessary. I will be happy to
accommodate.
Again, I would like to welcome you to Peabody High and hope you are as excited
about the new school year as I am.
Sincerely,
Mrs. DiGianfelice
Chemistry teacher
