Mr. Jesse Ladner
Hello Vikings! Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! This is my third year teaching at Bayou View Middle and I enjoy every day here!

I am certified to teach Social Studies 7-12 and English 7-12 in Mississippi. It is my pleasure to be teaching 8th grade English Language Arts for the 2023-2024 school year.

Google Classroom Links-
If you miss class for any reason or lose your notes, I'll be maintaining a Google Classroom for each period where I update the slides we go through in class, as well as any classwork we might go over.

Homework Expectations
Students will have homework if they do not complete their daily work in class or are working on extra credit.
Students are also responsible for making up work when they are absent, completing any unfinished classwork, and studying their notes nightly.
Although students are provided time in class to meet their I-Ready requirements, spending additional time on I-Ready lessons is a good way to receive additional ELA instruction and decrease any gaps in knowledge. Students may log in to I-Ready and complete lessons at home. They should be aware of their username and password. Parents may contact Mr. Ladner or the front office with any questions regarding i-Ready.
Powerschool
Parents, don't forget that you have 24 hour access to your student's academic progress through our Student Information System, PowerSchool. If you have not received log-in information for your student, please contact your student's counselor via phone (228-865-4687) or email.

Tutorial
Following the fall I-Ready Reading diagnostic, students will be assigned tutorial time during one or more elective periods per week.
Students who are having difficulty maintaining their grades or understanding content will be also be offered tutorial options during academic intercessions. Information about this will be provided as it becomes available.
Classroom Behavior
Students are expected to behave in a manner appropriate for the classroom setting. This includes participating in classroom activities and assignments, treating the teacher and fellow students with respect, and following all applicable school rules. Students and parents are provided a student handbook that includes the code of conduct at the beginning of each school year. The secondary student handbook can also be accessed at any time from the Gulfport School District website.
