Midterm Grades
The window is now open to post midterm grades and are due by Wednesday (8th) at 3:30. We will deliver the reports for you to hand out on Friday (10th). There was an update in Infinite Campus and the posting window will close automatically now, so it is very important to be on time with your posting.
To post midterms:
Go to Term Grade and hit the red post then select Midterm from the drop down, click OK, then Save. Nothing will appear differently in this window, so to check for correct posting of Midterms, go to the Task box at the top and select Midterm and your grades should appear in the Grade column.

Try This!
Plickers is a simple tool that lets teachers collect real-time formative assessment data without the need for students to have devices. A Plicker is an image similar to a QR code that is printed out (then laminate for more durability) and then scanned by the teacher's smartphone or tablet. The answer choice is recognized based on the way the student holds the image.
Check out these easy steps for using Plickers in your classroom posted by EmergingEdTech or watch this video posted to YouTube by Blair Lambert.
