Progress Reports

Parents,

Like you I am very distressed over the many low grades I sent home yesterday.  This is due to 1) students not writing their names on their assignments.  I have 100+ students and numbers just don't identify who wrote the paper.  When I handout assignment and again when I take them up, I remind students to write their names on their papers.  They are almost 7th graders and they have to do this.  Would you receive a paycheck without a name?  2) Students not doing the assignments.  I can assign the work but can not do it for them.  I have no way of making your student do the work.  3) When a student is absent, it is their job to make up the work.  They should ask for the assignments they missed as soon as they return.

Now how can they bring up their grades?  This is easy.  Accelerated Math is something they can do before school and in class.  This is not included in their progress report because we have not had time to work on it during CRCT testing.  Next, they need to be sure to put their name on their work and turn in all assignments between now and the end of school. Lastly, they need to stay focused and not be social.

We will have a test next week.  On Monday, a study guide will come home for Units 8 and 9. Please help your child to review.

Working together your student will see a great improvement.
