Many students are failing due to missing work, incomplete work, or poorly written essays that counted towards a test grade. This work needs to be turned in or made up by March 6.
Parent & Student Information
LATE WORK:
Many students are getting very lax in turning in assignments on time. As a reminder, ten points may be deducted from the assignment for each day the assignment is late. In addition, the district grading policy states that students may only be allowed to turn in three late assignments. After the three late assignments, zeros will be given. Please encourage your child to turn their work in on time.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Spring Break: March 13 - 17
English I STAAR EOC Exam: March 28
Remind Accounts
Please see below for your child's class period and sign up for text message reminders. With the kids having eight classes, it is sometimes difficult for them to remember everything, especially for Freshman. I try to help out with the Remind.
Remind: Use the app or text to 81010

Also, Google Classroom has a new feature called Google Guardian. Parents can be invited as a guardian and receive notification of the assignments and due dates. If you would like to be invited as a guardian, please let me know via email. This is another short grading period. It will be helpful if you monitor your child's parent portal on a regular basis to help them keep up.
