Conferences:
Yes, we have conferences next week. However, unlike
elementary school, you do not sign up for them. These will be
areana style -- meaning that during the times of Wed and
Friday morning 7:30-10:00and Thursday evening from 4-7 you may drop
by your child's classes to see the teacher. The teacher will
try to keep to about 10 minutes for each parent. Please be
courteous and try to also keep to the 10 minutes. If
additional time is needed, perhaps this can be arranged at the
conference time. |

GRADES:
If you have recently been on skyward, you may have noticed a huge
chunk of grades entered. These grades represent your
student's first assessment. Because Mr. Butler and I grade by
standards, all assessments are broken up into the standards that we
are testing on. The first test was over standard 6.6 which
has 5 components. Students grades reflect how well they
showed they understood the standards when applying it to a
problem.
B -- students showed they could do the problem with out assistance
and complete the problem accurately
C -- students showed they had some understanding but could not
complete the problem accurately or without assistance
D -- students do not understand the concept yet.
All students will be re-testing this week. Those who continue
to show understanding will be moved to an A. All students
will continue to work on achieving an A or B whether they continue
testing during lunch, before, after, or during special Friday
time. NO STUDENTS will be allowed to fail. |

Students in my
regular math classes are expected to know their multiplication
tables by the end of November. Students will receive daily practice
with them but are also expected to practice at home as well. Honors
math will have until the end of October to have their
multiplication facts memorized. Proof will be measured by passing
at least the A and B versions of the multiplication practice
quizzes. If students wish to practice the quizzes at home, they can
be found in the documents section. |

ZAP will begin this coming WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER
30th.
Philosophy: All students deserve the
right to learn and practice what they are learning.
Procedure:
If a student
does not complete their homework/classwork they may show they
understand the material in the form of a quiz.
If they do not pass the quiz, they MUST finish the
homework/classwork.
If they do not finish the work, they will be asked to call the
parents and stay after school until 3:00 pm to finsh the
work. The work will be collected and returned to me for a
grade.
Expectations:
Students will
work while they are in ZAP.
Work must meet classroom expectations.
Students must respect the adults who are leading ZAP.
Please support the school by making sure that your child attends
ZAP when scheduled. We appreciate your working with us to
help your child succeed.
