Answers to recent questions on upcoming work samples

Good evening!

 

It seems as though quarter 4 has brought on some questions, and therefore, I wanted to approach them with answers.

 

1.       What work samples are required for this quarter?

a.       You will provide the same amount of work samples this quarter as you always have (one lesson from math, language, science, history).  The difference is that this quarter students will have a science investigation and a composition (like normal). The science investigation can count as your Science work sample.

 

2.        What is needed to do the required projects?

a.       Please look to your assignment sheet (a pdf that was kmailed at the beginning of semester 2).  If you look under the column “additional required assignments” you will see these assignments and their due dates.  While the due dates say June 11th, I am going to ask that these be turned in no later than May 17th if possible in order for me to get your child’s report card to you in a timely manner.If your child is completing their online schools daily, they should have completed some of this already or will be shortly if they are up to date on progress.  Should they not be, they can always find the assignment and complete it that way. 

 

I’ve also attached the Middle School Grading Scale again so that you are aware of what I will be basing the semester report card grades upon.  About a month ago, I sent out an email informing everyone of how to calculate where their child is currently so that they can ensure all requirements get completed and percentages are fulfilled.  If you need this email again, let me know.

 

If you have forgotten what the assignment sheet is, I have provided a snapshot of what one of the grade levels looks like.  Please note, all grade levels, look a bit different. Please also refer to the pacing guide in which will show you the assignment number and which unit/lesson you will find it.

****If you have not updated attendance or quarter 4s PE log, please do so.  Quarter 3s PE log has already been printed. 

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.  If you contact me tomorrow, please note that I will be in Modesto testing for the CSTs (8th grade and make ups) from 8:30-1:00pm.  Thank you.
