Tomorrow will begin the second semester. Congratulations to all students, you have a 4.0 for the semester, an "A" in every class. Your attitude and effort for the next eighteen weeks will determine happens to that A.
Second Semester grades will be published this afternoon. All Incompletes must be made up by the end of the day on Tuesday January 10th. If your student has an Incomplete it means they are missing one or more assignments that is effecting their grade. Please encourage your student to get those assignments turned in and improve their grade. If no additional assignments are turned in the students grade will be what is currently in the grade book. If you have questions I would encourage you to go on line and see what scores they are missing.
Please take a few minutes to sit down with your students and discuss how the first semester went. Talk about what could have been done differently to achieve more success or what they did to achieve the success they were hoping to.
As you sit down and reflect with your student about the previous semester, use the time to make new goals for second semester. Talk about goals for each week, the semester, and beyond. If you are not clear with expectations, your students will never know. Let them know that this is a fresh start and if semester one did not go the way they would have liked, they have a chance to start over in semester two. Goals do not have to be academic. What about these types of goals: attendance, behavior, things at home? The more the school and the family can work together the more your student will benefit. Please take some time to "check in" with your child as we start the second semester.
If students have any scheduling concerns or changes they need to get those taken care of by the end of the day on Friday. After that schedules will be set for the semester. Any questions on courses or scheduling should be directed to Mrs. Clark.
Let's work together to make it a great semester!
