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 100% completion with a grade 70 or higher on MobyMax State Test Prep by 4 p.m. on Friday, May 20th will receive extra credit for the 4th marking period.
Social Studies News for the Week
English/Language Arts News for the Week
This week, we are continuing our introduction to the '60s for The Outsiders. Students will begin reading the text, as well. Since the theme of the book is being "on the outside looking in" or feeling excluded from a group, this would be a great time for you to talk to your child about topics such as peer pressure and self esteem.
Especially during the final nine weeks, it is essential that your student stay caught up on assignments. There simply are fewer opportunities to complete makeup work. Please take advantage of Parent Portal to monitor grades!
Your child will have a weekly quiz every Friday on the material covered in the starters we do each day. Please encourage him or her to listen carefully to instruction during that time and complete daily assignments in order to be successful on the quiz.
