Mrs. Phillips's Course Updates
4/10/18
Welcome Back!
We hope you enjoyed your Spring Break! There are about 5 more weeks left in this semester. Be sure to work diligently until the very end and don't let the little things get away from you. Check out our extra learning opportunity below. This opportunity will help you to study for the final exam. This has been a fantastic semester so far!
Georgia MIlestones
Are you signed up for the Milestones EOC? If you are a public school student, please make sure you have signed up with your district to take the EOC. The state of Georgia requires the EOC as a graduation requirement for this course. Home school and private school students generally do not have to take the MIlestones EOC, but check with your facilitator if you are unsure. GAVS does not administer MIlestones tests.
Extra Credit!!!
Thank you to all who have already created and begun using your USA Test Prep account to review for the EOC/Final Exam! When you successfully set up your account, you will see 4 assignments. Two assignments are designated for EOC takers while the other 2 are for GAVS exam takers. You must first determine which test you will be taking at the end of the semester. If you are unsure, please ask your facilitator.
Complete the appropriate test 1 to replace a daily/quiz/discussion grade with your highest review test attempt. Complete the appropriate test 2 to replace a daily/quiz/discussion grade with you highest attempt. You have unlimited attempts, but please be advised that the questions may change each time you retake the test. Extra credit will be applied to your grade after all course assignments have been submitted.
Progress Reports
This week's progress report grade reflects all work turned in by students on 4/6/18 by 11:59 PM. Late work will not be reflected in the grade you see. Progress reports are issued every week. If your grade drops below a 70, you will receive additional notification.
Class Chat
Take advantage of office hours on Thursdays at 8:00 PM. If you can't attend the live session, please email me questions and then view the recording for the answers to your questions. You may also find historical recordings to be helpful. These can be found in the "links" widget in BrightSpace.
