Report cards should be coming home today with each student 7th period. Make sure you ask your student about those. Students, make sure you are giving those to your parents tonight!
We did not do progress reports in support yesterday because report cards are coming home today. Progress reporting will be back to normal next week. Another thing

2nd Semester is officially underway. This means that we are halfway through the school year!!!! This also means that report cards are on the way home this week and that all students grades are now 0/0 for the second semester. As close to a blank slate as you can get. If your student was struggling try asking to see their planner on a nightly basis. They should have assignments and HW written down there. We have two months of 3rd quarter then Spring Break, then testing madness starts in full force. So teachers are going to be squeezing as much learning and projects in as they can this time year. Be ready!
THE END APPROACHES!!!! Thankfully, it is only the end of the semester not some other end. However, judging by the student's attitudes about report cards it might as well be the end of the world! Because of MAP testing no progress reports were sent home last week. I am sending them home today. I wanted to make sure everybody knew what was due by the end of the week. With report card prep half day on Friday, student's need to have all missing work in ASAP or Friday morning if possible. Some pretty panicked faces in Support class today!!
Winter MAP testing is here. All student's in a Support class plus all 8th graders are going through MAP testing over the next couple of weeks. We are trying to get all Support students done this week so many students have missed class time this week trying to get it done. We have tried to minimize this by doing testing in Support class as much as possible, but with absences and students taking longer to test this is not always possible. Students need to check with their teachers on what they missed as well as with me for any make up work that I can help them with or get excused if needed. Also, parents be aware that students did not have their regular Support time this week so more homework will need to happen.
Also, because we don't have support time this week there is no time for progress reports. Check parent portal or let me know if you have any questions. Look for progress reports next Thursday. End of the Semester is coming! Friday the 24th is the last day of the semester. All student make up work needs to be done before then. A four day weekend is a great chance to get caught up |
