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. 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.

Trout Release Field Trip
Join us on April 6 to release the rainbow trout that we have raised from eggs.
Members of Trout Unlimited will accompany us to Blue Ridge Outdoor Education Center to release the trout and spend a day studying ecology in the North Georgia mountains.
Space for this trip is limited!
Social Studies
This week in social studies we are beginning our final unit in Asia which covers Asia history. All of this unit will be new material and the first time most students will be exposed to this information. With that said it is very important that students are reading over their notes, presentations, articles, and coach book at home to reinforce what we are doing in the classroom. The pages that cover this unit in the coach book that is linked in Google classroom are pp. 187-205. District benchmark testing is this week and social studies benchmark is scheduled for this Thursday Feb. 11. Students will take their weekly vocabulary quiz this Friday over their first set of economic vocabulary terms. The list of words is linked below. Thank you for your support!
