Sophomores
Finals are upon us! You must be here on the final days--there are no early finals. If you must be absent on the final day, a parent must call in to excuse you. Then, the teacher will issue a failing grade and post. When we come back January 7th--you have 2 weeks from that time to speak with your teacher and schedule the make-up exam. It is imperative that you do not wait for the teacher to speak with you as they have posted and are moving on to the semester 2 curriculum. Study the review packets well that you will receive from the teachers, go in for additional tutoring as needed. Quarter 1 percentage is 40%, quarter 2 percentage is 40%, and the final is 20%. Your transcript will be posted before January 7th--check it out in your portal to make sure you agree with all the grades posted. This will be your third semester reported to the colleges, so it truly does matter. We wish you great success!
The first quarter grade reports are now in Infinite Campus. Speak to your teachers with any concerns. Speak with your teacher with concerns.
Leave your cell phone at home and limit your social media time--you will be happier:)
