Can We Talk?
All 7th grade parents are invited to join us on Tuesday, February 23rd, from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. in the Hilsman cafeteria. We will have a light meal and discuss how we can all partner together and develop ways to ensure that our students finish the year strong academically, socially, and behaviorally. We are all in this together – administrators, teachers, counselors, parents, community members and students. By working together, we can continue our strong record of partnering for student success.

WAGGLE: Students are expected to complete at least 2 hours per week in order to get full credit for their weekly homework grade. Students who do not meet this requirement will be given a grade of 55. Students can make up that grade by doing additional time another week. Please encourage your child to spend at least 30 minutes each night completing their assignments.
Students who make a grade below 100% are expected to correct their wrong answers and re-submit for partial credit for all assignments except vocabulary tests and some on-line assessments. Vocabulary tests can be re-taken during ELT. Corrections can be done during homeroom, ELT, lunch or after-school. Students must have their homeroom, ELT or lunch teacher's permission. Arrangements for after school must be made in advance. Students are to be picked up by 5pm.
Parents please check Campus regularly and monitor your child's grades and assignment completion. Assignments with a grade 55 and NHI in the comment box means that assignment was Not Handed In. Email me at baldwink@clarke. k12.ga.us for questions, comments and concerns.
Extra Credit
Students who reach 75% completion with a grade 70 or higher on MobyMax State Test Prep by 5 p.m. on Sunday, March 13th will receive extra credit for the 3rd marking period.
Science News
Benchmark Score Reports
I have given students Benchmark Score Reports that show their scores in Science on both Benchmark Tests. Please sign the Score Report Form so that I know that a parent or a guardian has reviewed the results with his or her student. After I verify that a parent/guardian has reviewed the Score Report, I will return the Report to the student.

Wednesday - Friday = Genetics & Heredity
