Mr. Bethea
Dear Parents and Student,
I am looking forward to
teaching your child this year. My goal is to help make
your child’s 7th grade year a great success.
If you have any questions or concerns about my class,
feel free to contact the school’s counselor at
334-347-2215. We ask that you make an appointment so
that schedules will not conflict and everyone is able to
attend. I can’t wait to be apart of your child’s
educational success.

Homework
Homework is to be turned in on
time. Late work will not be accepted unless it has been
approved by the teacher or administration. EXTRA CREDIT
ASSIGNMENTS WILL NOT BE GIVEN. Students will
have an opportunity to receive extra credit several
times during each nine (9) weeks. Students who do not do
their homework will receive a zero (0) on that
particular assignment. No make-up work will be given or
accepted if the student has received a zero for that
homework assignment. If homework is missed, students
will be required to follow the school’s policy in making
up the missed assignment(s). The homework hotline is
available for parents to keep up with their child’s
homework on a daily basis. The homework hotline number
is (334) 347-0235. Mr. Bethea’s ext. 1530.
Tests
Students are encouraged not to miss
scheduled test dates. If a test is missed, students
will be required to follow the school’s policy in making
up the missed test(s). Extra credit earned during the
nine weeks will be added to the student’s test. At the
end of every nine weeks students will be required to
take a nine (9) weeks test. This test will cover
everything taught during the nine (9) weeks. Students
will also be given news quizzes every Friday unless
otherwise instructed.
Cheating will not be tolerated.
Any student caught cheating will receive a zero on that
test or assignment, a disciplinary referral will be
issued, and the student will be sent to the office.
Thank you for your time and I look
forward to a great year at Coppinville Junior High
School.
