The field trip was wet and very “mosquito filled” but the students were well behaved and seemed to learn and apply a lot of science. Thank you for packing lunches and for making sure everyone was here on time.
A special thanks goes out to Dalya’s sister and Dianna’s mother for coming with us in the rain.
Please look at yesterday’s BLOG for the homework that is due tomorrow.
Hello again families-
We just finished adjusting and correcting everyone’s grades so as of right now the grades showing for your student is what they are earning in class.
Please take time to look to see if your child has missing assignments. In math there are quite a few assignments recorded. In science there are only three assignments currently attached to points. In science class we are working on projects and ongoing work – there are many half complete assignments that should be in your student’s folder that we work on during the week. The tricky thing is having 6th graders not losing them – that can be a challenge but it is their responsibility.
Thanks for your patience.
Parents please do NOT look at the gradebook today. There are many technical challenges happening right now. We are working hard to fix them and I will let you know when things are good. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Parents and students please look at your grades online. All the students were shown how to do this in class and should be checking at least a couple of times each week, there should be no surprises at report card time. In middle school all students get six report cards about six weeks apart from each other so the first report card marking is coming up soon. The first marking period usually has the least amount of summative work (tests and quizzes) because of all the beginning of the year work built into our day.
Many, many students are not completing their work – this does affect grades. Many, many students are also not putting their names on their work. If your student feels they turned it in and it is showing missing they should look in the “no name bin”, find their paper, put their name on it and turn it into the white basket by the door.
If your student was absent it is their middle school responsibility to get their missing work and stay after school for help if needed. It is their responsibility to turn in any missing work into the white basket by the door.

Complete the “THIE” section of the “THIEVES” paper we started in class.
FYI – I have to change the dates for all assignments because of scheduling issues. The majority if not all assignments on student/parent connect will have the date of September 23. This is the date of the change not the actual date of the assignment, hopefully from today on will have the correct date.
Parents ask your child for their ID number. You can use that and their birthdate to see grades, your child knows how to do this. You can also get your own password by completing a form and sending it back to school (I can send those home this week) this will you allow you access to all your children’s grades.
Remember Wednesday is our field trip all students need to bring in a lunch.
Math and Science no homework.
