End of 1st Nine Weeks

Friday, October 6th, was the end of the 1st nine weeks grading period. Please check your email for the Passport to Graduation. The number of credits your student has earned for the grading period will be provided. There are 4 nine week grading periods in the school year. If you would like to estimate the number of credits your students will earn for the school year based on their current pace, multiply the number of credits earned by 4. For instance, if your student has earned 1.5 credits during the 1st nine weeks grading period, then if they continue to work at their current pace they will potentially earn 6 credits this school year (1.5 x 4 = 6).

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations to our ALPHA students of the week! These students are selected based on our Formula For Success: Be Here, Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Successful!

Week ending October 6th: Levi W & Cristal G

Performance Expectations

This year students are expected to complete a course every two weeks. Every week we will look at each student to ensure they have completed a course in the prior two weeks. The next progress check will be Thursday, October 19th. If your student is not meeting this expectation, they will be placed in our Level 3 room, where phones are not allowed, instead of going to the Commons. Students will continue to go to their teacher classroom for instruction. Please visit with your student to ensure they are on track and also look at the date "last course complete" on the Passport to Graduation to monitor course completion progress. Passports are emailed to students each Monday and to parents on the second and fourth Monday of each month. This week's Passport will have the number of credits your student has earned at the end of the 1st nine weeks.

Food Deliveries

Just a friendly reminder! Outside delivery services are not allowed to deliver food to students here at ALPHA. Parents or individuals listed in a student's TEAMS profile may bring food for their student ONLY, no friends, etc.

Thank you Mr. Cooper for all you do for us here at ALPHA Academy. We are grateful for you!
