Welcome Back!!!!
Sly Park informational meeting next Wednesday January 13th at 4:00 in G-2!
Remember if you would like to speak with me about anything please email me
to set up an appointment. I have meetings after school on most days. The
end of the day is very hectic getting the kids ready to go home, so it
is difficult meeting with parents and students at the end of the day with no
set time. Also, an appointment helps me get better prepared with any
appropriate materials. If you call my voicemail I most likely will not get
it for some time, so better to email me. Thank you for your understanding!
Common Questions regarding grades:
Q: Why is my child's score so low?
A: It is still early in the trimester, so the amount of assignments entered
are very few still in some subject areas (math, social studies). The more
grades entered the better chance your child's grade will raise.
A: Your child may be scoring less than 75% on their schoolwork. All year
they have had the chance to correct and return ANY assignment for a score of
75%. I pass back papers every Friday, so if you have not seen any corrected
papers then you need to question your child as to where those assignments
are.
Q: My child said they turned that assignment in, so why does it say it is
missing?
A: Starting second trimester I began throwing away no name papers. This is
still a problem in this class. Even though before each assignment I tell
them that the first thing they need to do is write their name on their
paper.
Q: My child is missing vocabulary and/or spelling assignments, so where can
they get the words to complete the assignment again?
A: I have a master list of all the vocabulary and spelling words in the
classroom for them to get these from. It has been communicated with them
all year where these words are available for them, and that they are
responsible for getting these on their own.
I hope that these have answered your questions. If not you can email me at
my school email address, and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
Thanks again!
