Closing the First Quarter

Engrade is still reporting a large volume of visitors to their site. This is causing many of you to see "n/a" where there are actually grades. This being said, I have taken the time this weekend to print out an engrade report for each student. I will distribute these reports on Monday and allow one additional day to complete any missing assignments. In addition, I will pass back the remaining graded work for you and your child to review. He/she may re-do these assignments for a higher grade (unless otherwise noted on the assignment) by following the re-do protocol. (Place new answers on a sheet of notebook paper, explain why they have selected the new answer, and staple the new sheet with the old graded assignment.)

In other business, we have an exciting and busy week planned.

This week we will be focusing on the leadership/character trait: Fairness

Monday: Picture Day! Look your best. =) 9 Weeks Exam Make-Up day and for girls in Pathfinders you will meet today from 2:45-4:45.
