Grade Cards




Our first grading period has officially ended!
For the seventh grade students and parents, this probably came a lot quicker than you expected. All of the elementary schools are on 9-week grading periods, or quarters. The junior high and high school are on 6-week grading periods, or hexamesters.
This comes with positives and negatives. If a student starts the grading period out with some poor grades, it is more difficult to bring that grade up, because there are not as many grades and a shorter amount of time. However, on the positive side, your end of year average is based on 6 grades, rather than 4 - giving you MORE opportunity to get the grades you want. However you look at it, the beginning of each grading period is important. The first two weeks of each grading period determine if you spend the rest of the time digging yourself out of a hole, or more simply, maintaining a good grade.

Here are some important dates to keep in mind:
9/27/2019 - 1st grading period ended
10/2/2019 - Grades are due (teachers have to enter all grades)
10/4/2019 - 1st grade card and newsletter goes home with students. Both the grade card and the newsletter are printed on ivory paper and will be passed out 7th period.
10/10/2019 - Parent-Teacher Conferences
10/17/2019 - Parent-Teacher Conferences

If you would like to come in for parent-teacher conferences, call 884-2112 to make an appointment.

Focus

Do you have trouble focusing? Here is a fun tip that ANYONE can use, at ANY TIME! All you need is a pen and 1 minute! Step 1: Find a pen or pencil. Step 2: Hold it up to your face, about 1 foot away. Step 3: Focus on the end of the pencil for 1 minute (setting a timer will help you to avoid being distracted). For this one minute of time, do not allow yourself to think about anything else! Just focus on the end of the pencil! This would be great to try before beginning your homework, studying, at the beginning of a big game or race, anytime! I would love to know what everyone thinks of this. I will be trying it also:) I challenge you to use this trick at least once this week! (It might be good to try this before or during the Math & Science testing:) One Minute Life Hack Will Make You Do Everything Better!
