Reflection.
Grades are in! Yes, this will happen every card marking; grades are submitted for report cards. I wanted to take a moment to reiterate that semester grades are what appear on transcripts. If you reread the syllabus, my policies are clearly explained.
Even though I love talking about grades, I do have some expectations for students. I ask that you read the following: https://signeteducation.com/blog/how-to-talk-to-a-teacher-about-a-grade BEFORE approaching me with any comments/questions/concerns about grades.
Lastly, I want to clarify that turning in an assignment does not equal an “A” on that assignment.
Thanks!
Ms. Martin
