Welcome! 

This year in English I we will be covering 4 of the LA Dept. of Education’s 9th grade Springboard Units. English I is an EOC Course. This class will prepare you to take the English I LEAP 2025 Test at the end of the year. We will focus on the areas of reading, writing, speaking, and listening. You are expected to read each text, write responses and essays, participate in whole-class discussions by speaking on the subject and listening to others' responses. Assignments will be given in class each day and will be checked for accuracy & must be submitted by the deadline to receive full credit. I am confident your child can excel as long as they’re committed to following the policies and procedures set forth by CPSB, Barbe High School, & in this class.  Please feel free to contact me by email jon.jones@cpsb.org if you have any questions or concerns throughout the year.  I look forward to partnering with you and your child for a highly successful school year! Remember, for this year to be a success, we ALL need to work to our fullest potential and communication is the key!!  Please check grades weekly through Canvas & Student Progress Center (SPC).

Course Communications:

Parents and legal guardians can receive CPSB BB Comms communications via email and text messages if the student contact information is up-to-date and accurate. Please ensure that a parent/guardian number is listed in the "Student Cell Phone" field in the Student Progress Center. The field appears on the “phone” page as you confirm your student’s information each year. If you’ve already updated the information, you can recheck this field by selecting “Student Registration Update.” You can visit SPC HERE to make any needed changes to your student's information to receive email and text messages.
