Some things to keep in mind:
-this is just a check in, your semester grade is what counts on transcripts
-turning in work does not equal an A
-if you are struggling or have questions, you have to talk to Mrs. O
-rounding only happens at the end of the semester
-you do not deserve any specific grade; you earn it
