Important Notes for Parents:
LA T2T3 (Language Arts Term 2 Test 3) will be given on Friday, November 4th. Your child has notes, and he/she should be studying daily for this test.
Please see the NEW re-teach/retest calendar for the month of November. It is posted on the homepage of my website.
Students have been notified if they are missing assignments due to absences, or if they have any zeros as a result of not completing assignments. All work must be received by this Wednesday, November 2nd.
Overall, study habits need improvement. Students should be reviewing notes DAILY in advance of our weekly tests.
Notes for the test have been posted on my website under the "Handouts/Notes" link. Your child was provided a hard copy in class.
Minimal written homework will be given over the course of Term II; however, your child must study DAILY in order to be successful.
All grades are current and have been entered into STI. If your child has ANY zeros or blanks (no grade), he or she needs to see me during morning tutorial Monday-Thursday mornings from 7:15-7:45 a.m. to make-up this work immediately.
Bell Work is given each week of the term. NOTHING less than a 100 is acceptable for this weekly grade. Students are required to attempt the bell work independently, and then we review answers via the promethean board. Justifications are discussed verbally and students are required to write out their justifications in sentence format. Every student should make a 100 each week. Any grade below 100 indicates one of the following: lack of effort during class time, failure to make-up work due to an absence, failure to write out justifications or take notes, or losing the bell work sheet altogether.
Please check your child's grades frequently (via IOD) and let me know if you have any questions.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns, or comments.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO TEACH YOUR CHILD! THIS IS A GREAT GROUP OF KIDS!!!
