The Freshman Focus
November 30, 2018
Ben Davis Ninth Grade Center
Principal's Corner
The Ninth Grade Center staff hopes you had a great Thanksgiving Break and are ready to push forward to the end of the semester. Student mid-terms were distributed Tuesday, November 20th during Impact period. Be sure to ask your child for their mid-term report and review their current grades. If you would like specific information regarding their class grades you can access that through your Skyward account or have your child log in to their own Skyward account to view this information online.
Please take the time to support your child by reinforcing their highest effort these last three weeks of the semester. Our goal is for every student to earn all of their credits this semester. Most students have the opportunity to earn 8 or 9 credits if they pass all of their classes! Study habits are an evolving skill for freshmen students and really need to be emphasized as we move into final exam review the last two weeks of the semester. We will host study tables after school Monday-Thursday from 3:30 - 5:00pm. Study tables will begin on Monday 12/3 and conclude on Thursday 12/20. Supper will be available and late buses will be here on these afternoons to transport students home. Please make sure a ride is here to pick up your child at 5:00pm if they will not be using our buses. Thank you for your support!
Steve Samuel, Principal Ninth Grade Center
