Dear
Students,
I
look forward to meeting all you that will be "new" to my classes
this September. I also can't wait to say hello to those of you I have
taught in the past. I hope everyone has a happy and healthy summer.
Mrs.
Hauck
Here
are a few things to think about before you come to class.
Classroom

any books, paper, pencils, and supplies necessary to participate
in class.
2.
Respect all staff, other students, school buildings, and grounds.
3.
Be on time for class.

Homework
Make-up
It
is your responsibility to ask for any missing assignments due to
an absence. Please see me your first day back to find out what you
missed. You may also phone a friend while you are out and ask them
what you missed.
Test/Quiz
Make-up
Again,
it is your responsibility to check for a missed test or quiz due
to an absence. See me the day you return so that we can set up a
day and time to take the test/quiz. If you miss the scheduled make-up,
then you may lose points or get a zero.
Extra
Credit
Extra
credit will occasionally be given out at my discretion. One thing
to consider is, “if you ask for extra credit, you won't get it.” |
What
I expect of you as a student
1.
To come to class mentally ready and eager to learn.
2.
To come prepared for every class with all classroom supplies.
3.
To complete your homework assignments on time.
4.
To ask questions, ask questions, and ask more questions.
5.
To be a good citizen in class and in school and to treat every person
in this school with respect. (including yourself)
6.
To follow all classroom rules.
7.
Oh! Did I mention, ask questions? By the way, there are NO stupid
questions.

What
you can expect from me as a teacher
1.I will be as
thoughtful and fair as I can be.
2. I will give you
help in class whenever you need it, and I will also be available
for extra help.
4. I will help you
find the answers to your questions. However, I will push you to
look for those answers as well.
5. I will return
corrected work to you in a timely manner.
6. I will come to
class prepared and ready to teach and listen.
7. I will challenge
you to be the best student you can be.

A little
blurb about me!
I am excited
to be teaching my 4th year at Byram Intermediate school.
I am a certified
general/special education teacher. I am also certified to teach
math up to 8th grade.
I am the mother
of three incredible young men, and I am also married to a loving
and supportive husband.
I grew up
in Central New York and received my education from Buffalo State
University.
My interests
(outside of the classroom) include doing things with my family,
home improvement, jewelry making, reading, and watching Buffalo
Sabres hockey. "LETS GO BUFFALO!!!"
Before I began
teaching, I was a barber and owned my own shop. Now, I love being
a teacher. I especially love touching the lives of my students.

Classroom
Supplies for 2010-2011
Please see individual websites
for lists of classroom supplies.
PS: A box of tissues
would be nice.
If you are in both my
English and Literature classes you will only need 1 three ring binder
and 2 packages of 5-tab dividers. Plus, the usual paper, pencils,
pens, and folders.
I am looking
forward to a happy and healthy school year. Lets have some fun while
learning!
