2nd quarter ending

JANUARY 25TH, 2008

The above date is the closing of the 2nd quarter. It is hard to believe that the school year will be halfway over.

Ask your child if they have late work to be turned in. It is also written on the whiteboard. As I have mentioned to a couple of parents, I do try to get late work posted on the blog but it is ultimately the student's responsibility. Their assignment sheets show what is done daily and it is required that they get their parent's signature daily to show communication. This also shows us that you are aware of their work. If there are issues with late work feel free to check their books and papers to ensure timely completion. All their class papers that are ready to be turned in have the assignment written in the top right hand corner and page number so it can be checked against his/her assignment sheet.

Beginning next quarter, JAN 28th, any work (including math corrections) that is not turned in will result in a 0 grade for that assignment. Classwork assignments count as 1/3 of the final grade towards that particular course. So all the student has to do is turn in his/her work to receive a grade of 100% which is 1/3 of the final grade.

We hope this will help to instill responsible habits in the students, because it is a building block to what is required as they advance in school. We have diligently asked repeatedly for assignments and now that will have to end.

Any questions or concerns please see us. We will be happy to work with you to help develop ways to encourage your child to achieve success.
