Grade books, Report Cards and Parent Conferences
Can you believe the third marking period ends this Friday? Believe it or not, the end of school is near! Please be sure you are updating your grade books. Monday, March 7th will be the last day to finalize your grade books. You should have 15 grades in reading, ELA and math. The Science and Social Studies grades will vary depending on the unit your students have been studying.
Kindergarten: 9-10 Science grades; 4-5 S.S. grades
1st Grade: 9-10 S.S. grades; 4-5 science grades
2nd Grade: 9-10 S.S. grades; 6 science grades
Report cards will be printed on Wednesday, March 9th.
The 3rd quarter report card must be signed for by parents during a conference with you. I will email you the scheduling template. Please send home a parent conference request to each parent beginning tomorrow, Monday, Feb. 29th. Parent conferences may begin as early as Thursday, March 10th, after report cards have been printed. Please do not schedule parent conferences on Tuesday's during your planning or after school or Thursdays during your planning. March 17th is a half day scheduled for parent conferences after the students go home. Do not schedule conferences during dismissal. It is important that the parent have your undivided attention. You may begin conferences on this day after 1:15 p.m. The expectation is to have 100% participation for parent conferences. If you are unable to reach a parent (don't forget to try during arrival and dismissal too) or getting them in to meet with you face to face, please contact Ms. Harper to follow up with the parent.
During parent conferences, be sure to talk to them about the students' grades, their NWEA winter scores, behavior and ways parents can assist at home. I will email you a template for conference notes. Parents need to sign the conference note and be provided with a copy. If you have questions, please ask.
Hundreds Chart Fun!
