Mrs. Davis - Home
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year!
Thank you for visiting my website.
About me:
I have 18 years of formal classroom teaching experience, but I've been teaching science for the last 23 years in a variety of formats. I have taught students ranging from 6 to 18 years old and sciences ranging from an elementary STEAM elective to high school chemistry. I love spending time with my family and being outside. I enjoy fishing, camping, hiking, gardening and caring for my animals. This is my fifth year at ASK and I'm excited to be teaching the Flight and Space, and Medical Detectives classes for 7th grade. Please contact me via email with any questions or concerns you might have.
***Class Syllabus is found in the links to the right.
Grading:
Your grade will be calculated as a percentage of the number of points you earned out of a possible total number of points. Assignments will have different point values based on the amount of weight I want each assignment to carry. Most class assignments assignments will be worth 5-10 points. Projects and tests will be worth 40-100 points. Each quarter is worth 40% of your grade and the final exam will constitute the remaining 20%.
Homework is rarely given. Assignments are to be turned in by the Friday of the week that they are assigned for full credit. If they are turned in on the following week, points will be deducted.
Attendance Policy:
ASK Academy scholars are expected to arrive on time (8:00AM) and be adequately prepared for their day. All scholars who arrive past 8:03 AM to their first period class must have a pass from the front office. Tardy scholars must be signed in by parents at the front office. Please contact The ASK Academy on the website at: https://www.theaskacademy.org and click the Attendance link on the home page or call 505-891-0757 to notify us of your scholar’s absence.
Uniform Policy:
The Academy requires that all scholars wear a prescribed uniform.
Tops (Shirts) – All scholars must wear an ASK polo shirt, with the ASK logo, purchased from an approved ASK vendor. The color of the ASK polo shirt identifies the scholar with their selected career pathway. Polo shirts will not be overly baggy, nor exceedingly tight. Shoulder seams must be at the shoulders, and shirts cannot hang down below mid-thigh level. Middle School – Red or Light Blue High School – Biomedical Sciences – Dark Green or Purple Engineering and Design – Royal Blue or Burgundy Bottoms (Pants) – Allowable pants/slacks of solid color (khaki or black) and should meet our uniform expectations. They should be of a non-stretch, khaki or similar material. No shorts, skorts, skirts, cargo pants (pants with many pockets) are allowed. No excessive “sagging” is allowed. Inseam of pants must be where legs and torso join. Excessively tight pants such as spandex, yoga pants, leggings, sweat pants or other non-uniform fabrics are not allowed.
Footwear
Scholars must wear closed-toe shoes at all times at the Academy (no sandals, flip-flops, crocs, open back shoes, slippers, or shoes made out of foam are allowed). Please remember that our learning spaces have sharps, blades, power tools, solvents, and acids so adherence to this policy is a priority. No head wear Hats, bandanas, beanies, headbands with extraneous distractors, etc. including sweatshirt hoods, are not allowed inside the Academy. Exemptions for headwear that may be required for religious reasons will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Outerwear
Jackets will not qualify as a replacement to an ASK polo. Jackets may be worn as long as they have a zipper front and are not excessively baggy (shoulder seams are at the shoulders and cannot hang below mid-thigh level). When worn inside, jackets must allow full view of the ASK polo (be worn unzipped indoors). Scholars can wear sweatshirts and hoodies under, but not over the ASK polo. Please remember that the ASK polo is one of our layers of security. Clothing or jewelry that are determined to pose a risk to potential injury while in the learning environment will not be permitted. Attire or accessories which advertise, display or promote any drug, alcohol, tobacco, gang, sexual activity, violence, disrespect or bigotry towards any group, or items that are associated with a gang are not permitted. All attire should be suitable for a professional environment.
