Quarter 4, Week 8 News

Finish Strong

We have noticed over the past two weeks that effort in class and on homework has significantly declined. We have talked a lot with our class about how to finish the year strong. Please remind your child that they need to turn work in on-time and continue to put their best effort forth until the end of the school year. Thank you for all you do to support your child at home. 

A.T. Still Field Trip

The field trip this past week was a great opportunity for scholars to enhance their learning in science. We had the opportunity to ask one of the professors questions about the human body. The scholars did a phenomenal job of staying engaged and forming deep questions. 

Late or Missing Work 

This upcoming Friday, May 10th, will be the last day to turn in missing or late work for the quarter. The reason we have moved it up a week from our previous quarter is due to the amount of time it takes and stress it causes students to search for their make-up work that they have lost or misplaced. The end of the year should be a time of celebration and last moments with friends until next year. We are trying to reduce the amount of students that are frantically trying to turn in all of their missing work at the last minute by moving the deadline up by one week. 

If your child is missing work, you may want to check their backpack, folders, and anywhere else it could be. If you are unable to locate the missing assignments and would like to have your child take part of their recess time to make a new copy of the missing assignment and work on it, please send me an email. Please also inform your child that this is what you'd like them to do. We want to keep the responsibility in our scholars' hands so that they continually see how important it is to hand in work on-time. 

Test and Quiz Corrections

Over the last quarter, I have offered the students opportunities to correct their mistakes on quizzes and tests in all subjects to earn points back and further their learning. The deadline for turning in corrections is also this upcoming Friday, May 10th. 

Grade Reports

Grade reports were sent via email over the weekend. If you did not receive one. Please send me an email so I can try sending it again. 

Wishing you all a great week. Thank you for supporting your child at home. It has been such a joy to teach them this year.
