Hello!
A couple of quick updates for you starting with the most important one – NO school Monday! No matter how much your sixth grader begs, tell them not to come to school on Monday! If they like, they can practice math vocabulary on Quizlet or review fractions and factors on ixl.com so they won’t miss math too much this three day weekend.
Wednesday is a half day for students. Dismissal will be at 11:30.
We just finished our first chapter in Math, and the test results are in ParentVue. Anyone with a C or below were given time in class to review homework, complete the study guide, ask questions, or study previous lessons and then were given a retest. If the retest scores were higher, they were added to the grade book. Lower scores were not counted.
Today, we reviewed how to check grades in StudentVue. Students were even allowed to pull out their phones to download the app. Both StudentVue and ParentVue have apps that can be downloaded. You and your student can check grades anytime you like on the app or on our website.
Progress reports will be sent home Tuesday. We will ask you to sign it and return it by Thursday. ABI will be assigned to anyone who doesn’t return the progress report signed by Thursday.
Speaking of progress reports, I made a one-time offer to students today. Late assignments are not accepted. However, I will accept any chapter 3 homework assignments through Tuesday. In the future, assignments will only be accepted through the week it is due.
Enjoy your three day weekend!
