Wow! Time sure is moving quickly! We are already half way through the first quarter. This week, progress reports were sent home. After seeing progress reports, I understand that there are many questions concerning your child's grade. In math, there are many questions regarding students' low grades. This is a result of missing homework. On September 21st, I sent home all students with a packet of all of their missing homework. Students were given one week to return these packets. For any packets incomplete and not returned, students were told they would receive a 0 for all missing work that was not turned in. Some students choose to still not complete this work and did not turn anything in. As a result, students were given zeros for those missing assignments, which they were given multiple chances to complete and return.
Furthermore, tests from the end of our first unit were returned today. Students receiving grades lower than what they wanted were encouraged to do corrections on their work to improve their grade. Here at the new Marquette School of Excellence, we want our students to succeed. We need to work together to ensure that our students are receiving support both at school and at home. Although our class webpage has not been updated in awhile, I vow to be more consistent with weekly updates with assignments and notes. This will allow students to keep track of their assignments and missing work. Parents, please encourage your children to continue working hard and making great choices. We have made great improvements since the beginning of the school year and I know we can continue making the right choices to become the future class of 2025!
