How things work in Ms. Loftfield's Social Studies Class

Students receive a weekly syllabus detailing what we will be accomplishing in class as well as all homework assignments. The syllabus is found in their Social Studies Binder allowing every student to have their assignments easily available to them. Any changes are made directly on the syllabus allowing the class to spend more time on an activity if needed.

Please check the Table of Contents at the beginning of the Social Studies spiral to determine where the most current syllabus can be found.

When students are absent at the start of a week, it is their responsibility to get the syllabus upon their return and talk with Ms. Loftfield about what was missed. This will allow them to make up the work in a timely manner and get credit for what they missed.
