Welcome to Mrs. Halderman's Class!
Hello! My name is Mrs. Halderman and I am the High School History Teacher at Southwest Preparatory Seguin Campus.
I joined the Eagle Family last February as a first time teacher and am looking forward to my first full year. I may be fairly new to teaching in a school, but this is not my first time teaching. Over the past few years, I have taught several local and community history classes.
I graduated from UTSA with a degree in History and have even written a children's book series based on American History. I have been married to my best friend for ten years and have three children, all of whom attend Southwest Prep.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. It is so important to keep open communication between us and I would love to talk to you whenever you feel the need. You can email me at [email protected].
I look forward to having a great year together!
As always, keep asking questions!
Mrs. Halderman
Classroom Policies and Procedures
Procedures
- Class begins when you enter the room.
- When you get to your seat, quietly begin the Warm-Up. These will consist of one paper/grade per week with an answer every day, to be turned in on Fridays.
- No phones during class, unless given specific permission to use them.
- Class ends when all computers and books have been put away correctly and neatly, and you have been dismissed by the teacher.
Daily Work
- Include your name, date, and class period in the top-left hand corner and title in the top-middle for each assignment.
Tests
- No talking and eyes on your own paper.
- Computers and cell phones are NOT allowed while tests are out.
- When finished, place it in the basket and return to your seat quietly until everyone has finished.
Corrections
- Test corrections will be allowed after all tests have been turned in.
- Corrections must be turned in the next class period.
- For each corrected answer, ½ point will be awarded.
Computers
- Most days, you will need a book, but NOT a computer. Computers will be allowed once all work for the day is completed or if the lesson calls for it.
Supplies
