Summer School
We Are Close...
1) Make sure you stay with your students through the hall way while walking them down to lunch. A few of our regulars have broken from the classes and are running through the courtyard.
2) Be on time to your duty station and pay attention while you are there.
3) Teach bell to bell - the goal is to have students engaged from the very second they enter your class.
4) Make sure you are at your door between class periods.
Grading Guidelines
We are all really close to this - I appreciate your attention to making sure we meet our Grading Guidelines.
Remember our grading guidelines state:
• Daily = 25% - minimum of 6 required per 9 weeks
• Formative Assessment = 35% - minimum of 3 required per 9 weeks
• Major Grades = 40% - minimum of 3 required per 9 weeks
As a campus, we haven't done a great job of this, and that's my fault for just catching it now. I'll run reports at each 3, 6 and 9 weeks to make sure we are on track, and if you're behind, I'll send you an email.
Don't fall behind, each course should have at least one Formative Assessment and Major Grade in the Gradebook already. If not...make sure it's on your radar.
