Housekeeping
- Our standard at CTMS is at least two grades per week. Take a look at your gradebook, by now students should have at least 10 grades.
- Grades should be a reflection of content, concept, and/or skill mastery, not behavior. If a student's behavior is subpar, be sure to indicate that in their citizenship portion of their grade.
- Membean (ELA) and IXL (math) are supplemental tools used to strengthen previously taught concepts, allow for practice or covered material, or preview future learning. Please be sure that your gradebook reflects mastery or failure or state student learning standards (TEKS).
- If you are going to be absent, please remember to text or email your appraiser to give us a heads up.
- Please take a look at your sub plans and make sure that their complete in the event that you are out. Establish a couple department members that you'll share those with when needed.
