Dear Parents,
We've received several emails and phone calls since Progress Alerts went home yesterday. Before contacting us for a conference, please check Parent Portal to review all of your child's assignment grades. Look to see your child's grades on the tests, as they count for 80% of the Language Arts and Math grade. Also, look to see the number of times homework was not turned in. Included, but not for a grade, are your child's percentage correct on AR quizzes. Many students have performed poorly on their AR tests. If you have set up your account settings to receive weekly grade updates, please note that if you receive a notification prior to a test grade being entered, the grade may change drastically once a poor test grade is entered. Also, please be aware that new posts on our blog seem to not be sent immediately. You may find it helpful to log into the blog at least twice a week to keep current. Extra credit is being offered weekly in Wonders. This past week, only 3 students took advantage of this opportunity. Another assignment is already posted for next week. We have duty 3 mornings and 3 afternoons per week, making our conference availability very slim. Email communication would be the quickest way for us to relay information to you regarding your child's performance. However, if you would like a face to face meeting, we will do everything we can to accommodate you.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Rodriguez and Mrs. Lynch
