Progress Reports
Progress reports for each class were sent home for you to review with your child. We had time in class for students to find missing work, gather new copies, and meet with a teacher to clear up questions. As it is the beginning of the quarter, one missing assignment will have a great impact on the overall grade for a class. Once missing work is turned in, grades will go up. Please encourage your child to take care of any missing work as soon as possible. Please sign and return the progress reports on Monday. You can keep up with your student’s grades by regularly checking Mistar, as well.
Notes Home
In addition to progress reports and graded work, please also look for a note explaining formative grading scores, a permission slip for our LINKS program, and school pictures.
Library
We had our first visit to the library and students were able to check out two books. We will return every Wednesday to return and check out new materials. Books may be checked out for two weeks at a time. Please continue to encourage reading and discussion about books!
Homeroom Changes
We spent many many hours deliberating over our schedule and how to best configure our homerooms to meet all of our students’ needs. After considering the number of changes and the ripple effects on other areas including specials teachers, online grading systems, etc., we decided to look for alternative solutions that would not affect as many students on our team. At this time we will not be moving students’ homerooms, but will eliminate our Monday afternoon recess time. Students still have a morning and lunch recess that day.
