We started our unit on Geometry and we will continue until at least Christmas Vacation. This week we will start studying triangles and quadrilaterals and begin incorporating what we know about algebra to solve for missing parts of geometric shapes. We will have a test on Thursday, December 10.
I have updated the grades page to reflect the work for the second marking period. This week ends the 5-week progress report period, so if your child's grade isn't what you would like, I would like to remind you that re-takes on all tests and quizzes are permitted. Also, if your child is handing assignments in late or not handing them in at all this will have an impact on the homework average, which is 35% of the total quarterly grade. So, if you see that there is a problem getting assignments handed in on time you should have a chat with your child about the importance of doing there work and handing it in when it is due.
I hope you are all able to navigate the newest link that I have added to the website, the Circle Free Status link. Circle Free is a status we give students that have completed all of their assignments during the week and have not been involved in any violations of our student conduct policy. Students have until the last day of the week to get assignments handed in, if at the end of the week students owe work
they will not be granted the status of Circle Free. Over the weekend I compile the list and post it on this link. I have just updated the Circle Free list, so it is current as of Sunday, October 25. To find out if your child owes any assignments simply click on the link and enter your child's Student ID.
Thanks,
Jerry O'Neil
