A Note About Grades

Dear parents and students,

Please note that your grade on the portal mostly reflects your homework preparedness, since most assignments are "check" HW grades (essentially, you do the work, you get the credit) at this point. Also note that while the journals were counted as a "check" grade for completion, they WILL eventually be assigned an assessment grade.

I felt that this message needed to be communicated because many of you are currently sporting a 100% average, and as you already know, "Nothing Gold Stays" ( I couldn't resist!). If you've got a 100%, it's because you've been diligent with your HW--keep it up--but do understand that the grades will soon reflect your ELA skill development more accurately (whether that's 100% or not).

On another note, if your're currently failing, than that is an indication that you need to be completing your HW assignments. They all build on each other to help you succeed in the long run.

Okay, just thought I'd clear the air! Have a great weekend!

-Mr. B
