Parents,
While we will never abandon integers and algebra, we are ready to move on.
There will be a test on Friday, we will review all week, as we work more on
order of operations and equations. Next week we will take up Geometry.
I will post the most recent grades later today. This will include the test on
Algebra students took last week. I am sorry for such a long delay, but
students just finished taking the test on Friday, so I really couldn't do much
sooner. I usually figure a turnaround of about two days, with the amount of
students missing school the delay couldn't be avoided.
Your child's grade in math will consist of the four quarterly averages, a
midterm exam, and final exam; that's a total of six grades that make up your
child's final average. I base the quarterly grades on a weighted total points
system, where homework is approximately one-third and tests and quizzes make
up the other two-thirds of the average. Every assignment that I grade, this
includes tests, quizzes, and homework, is worth a certain number of points. I
compare the number of points you earn with the total number of points possible
and calculate the percent.
To download a grade report for your child, click on the "Student Grade
Reports" link on the left hand side of this page. Then, just enter your
child's last name and Student ID number in the spaces on the left and you
should get a current grade report. Your child's password is their six digit ID
number that should be on their current class schedule. I also sent the student
ID number with the last email progress report. If you can't find your child's
Student ID number, just drop me an email and I'll send it to you.
