Engage! We continue pushing on.
This is a week of harsh reality. Many of the students have found themselves on academic probation for lack of not turning in their work. My turn-in policy is simple, assignments are due the next day with the exception of my writing classes this week. We had trouble printing in the lab, therefore assignments will be due Monday. All journals and notebooks are due on Fridays, so I can grade them over the weekend. I will restate this policy again this week.
Please also remember, I only send hard copy grades every other Monday and students are expected to be signed and returned. I had several students who chose not to return them. I do count those as a grade so get them back to me as soon as you can. You can access your child's grades on Skyward anytime and I would encourage you to do so. I tend to do most of my grading over the weekend, so Mondays are a good day to check.
Literature this week will continue to cover story elements with emphasize on conflict.
Writing classes will be peer editing their narrative stories and moving on to review of grammar.
Study Skills class have been completing local job applications. We will be continuing this progress this week. Friday, seventh period is our first pep assembly.
Congratulations to those kids participating in football, cross country, and volleyball. I was so proud of how well everyone played.
Have a wonderful week.
Mrs. Bowman
