Students should have their notebook, scotch tape, color pencils, and highlighters with them daily. Science Notebooks can be stored in class. Students are expected to use their planners everyday

The class website is there as a resource. Skyward Family Access: Online gradebook. Both parents/guardians and students have access codes. I update grades at least once a week. Any questions please let me know. Remind to receive texts

Frequent grading of homework confuses completion with understanding Making Homework Meaningful Frequent quizzes lead to increased learning Use of Incompletes and Interventions Missing assignment/Late assignment Chance to retake/redo to improve grade and show understanding Alternative Response

For Parents/Guardian: Introduce your child to me in Family Survey. Please check Skyward Family Access to be sure your email address is current and stay up-to date with your child’s grade (I update Skyward weekly). Encourage your child to review their interactive notebook for 10 minutes every night.

If the zero is marked ‘AB’, that means your child was absent on the day the assignment was due/collected. S/he is responsible for turning the assignment in when s/he returns to school. Full credit will be assigned as long as the assignment is turned in within the number of days s/he was absent. If the zero is marked ‘MS’, that means your child was at school, but did not have the assignment completed on the day it was due/collected. The assignment will remain a zero until it is turned in. If the zero is not followed by AB or MS, then that is the grade your child earned on the assignment. If an assignment is marked ‘MS’ and your child insists s/he turned it in, ask: ‘Was your name on it? Check the ‘No Name’ folder for your assignment.’
