GRADES PAGE
You can check your student’s progress by going to the grades page (http://teacherweb.com/CA/SantaBarbaraJuniorHighSchool/Glenn/AllClasses/Grades.html ), entering your student’s last name and 6-digit ID number. The record that will be presented shows the most recent work for the last few weeks of the second semester, but keep in mind that the cumulative grade is for all the work they have done throughout the semester. If you want a printout of the entire first semester's work, drop me an email and I can send a copy home with your student.
TEST ANXIETY??
I have heard it before... "My son was really ready for the test. I don't know why he didn't do better. He knows this stuff." If your child suffers from test anxiety (or you wonder if that's the problem), I have added a link to an informative site that gives good suggestions to help students overcome test anxiety. Read this with your student and discuss these suggestions. There's no time like the present to perform a little self-help. http://www.education.com/reference/article/Ref_Helping_Overcome/
DROP-IN TUTORING
Please keep in mind that I am available after school to help your student. Please take advantage of my drop-in tutoring sessions: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday 2:40 - 3:30 and Friday 2:20-3:30
CHAPTER 11 TEST
There will be no chapter 11 test. We will have two quizzes, then move on to Chapter 8 or 9.
EXTRA CREDIT
Extra credit is available to students three times per chapter: on the days of the two chapter quizzes and the chapter test. It is optional, but I recommend that they do it unless their homework load is such that they are overloaded that day or otherwise too busy. In addition, students will be given extra credit points (equal to an extra credit assignment) for bringing in an empty DELL, HP or LEXMARK brand printer or toner cartridge, which I recycle. If students bring in extra cartridges they can "bank" them until they are used. Extra credit limit will be three per chapter (any combination of worksheets or cartridges).
REPLACEMENT WORKBOOK
If your student loses their workbook, they will need to purchase a replacement at $11.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to send an e-mail to me at kglenn@sbsdk12.org.
Thanks for being informed!
Mrs. Glenn
