Welcome to sixth grade Social Studies!
Everyone seems to be getting off to a great start this year! Let's keep it up!
Any donations of "clorox type" wipes would be greatly appreciated and keep
your child in a cleaner environment!!!
ALSO... Memorial School collects both Campbell's Soup labels and Boxtops for
Education. You can send them in to your child's homeroom. Thanks!
As grades are entered into the Parent Portal I wanted to explain a few things.
1. Each homework assignment counts for 5 points. At this point I am giving
partial credit for incomplete work, misunderstanding directions, left in
locker etc. As students transition to 6th grade, credit will be given only
if homework is done completely. I usually enter 5 homework grades at a time,
thus a total of 25 points. Your child's grade for those 5 assigments will be
shown. Example if two of 5 assignments are missing the grade will be 15 of
25 or 60%. This will show as a D- for that set of assignments. All homework
averaged together is 25% of the grade for the semester.
2. Quiz and Test grades will be entered as they are completed. I like to
pass these back to students before I enter them into the system.
I hope this explains things to you.
