Head's Up -- Quiz in Multi Lit on Monday

Hello Seniors,

This is a reminder that you'll have a short quiz over the readings of 1.19 and 1.20 on Monday.  If you don't feel confident about those stories, I suggest you look over them again.  I send the link to the online book (we're in Unit 1) to your Synergy messages.

Also, I need you to have your Planning Document 1 and 2 finished and at least 3 sections of your Reflective Essay completed when you walk in the door on Monday so you can be finished with your draft of your essay BEFORE you leave class on Monday (not at 11:59, before you leave).

I hope you have a great weekend!  

Finishing Up the Unit

8 Weeks Left in the Semester

Hello All,

Thank you for your understanding while I was (and still am) dealing with medical issues.  I'm working on a solution and appreciate your continued support, especially on the days that I have to be out for doctor's appiontments.

With that said, as of just now I've finished catching up on all of the major grades for all classes.  As a reminder, the formative category is only worth 20% of your total grade, while your summative category is worth 65% and the final exam is worth 15%.  The summative grades impact your overall grade the most, and the grades for each categry are an average of all of your scores in that category.  This means low summative grades will impact your grade a lot and for a long time.  The next big grade coming up is a Reflective Essay (Multi-Lit) and your first deadline (Yearbook).

Please look over your grade (or your child's grade) and feel free to reach out with any comments or concerns.  If you're not happy with your grade, there is plenty of time to bring it up, but you must do your best for the rest of the semester.  If you are happy with your grade, keep up the hard work and stay strong through the end!

Thank you and I hope you have a great week.
