Mr. Porcella

 

 

 Welcome To Applied Technology (6th, 7th and 8th grades)

My name is Mr. Porcella and this will be my 23rd year as a teacher here at Reynolds. 

I teach the Applied Technology cycle courses for 6th and 7th grade, which run on a Day 1 / Day 2 schedule, meeting every other day for 1/2 year.  This means that we will have 45 class periods together.

In addition, I also teach the 8th grade Applied Technology full year class. which meets every day of the year.  

As well as teaching the Technology classes, I also run the after school Aviation Club in which I teach students how to fly a plane using Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Students will be given a detailed course syllabus for their respective classes once the school year begins.

 

SUPPLIES:  Pencils and a 2 pocket folder with some paper in it that will be left in the classroom for use during class.

 

District Grading Policy is as follows:

Summative ..............50%
Formative ................40%
Individual Practice ....10%
 
 
HOMEWORK:  Nightly homework is NOT ASSIGNED in any of my classes. However, there may be instances in which students may need to complete an assignment that was started in school, or to study for a test.
