The students received their 2nd Quarter report cards today (Wednesday, February 11).  Please sign the report card & send it back to school.  I want to make sure that all parents see their child's grades.  I will send the report card back home once I see that you have signed it.

Out of 34 students, 24 are on Honor Roll.  I am very proud of them.  In my 12 years of teaching, 2nd Quarter is usually when I see a drop in grades.  The students do well the first quarter because they are in a new grade, then they get complacent and their grades drop slightly for the next quarter.  Then 3rd & 4th quarters are when we see a rise in grades again.  So to see my students' grade go UP instead of the usual down in 2nd Quarter makes me very happy & very proud.  I hope they continue the good work and continue to bring their grades up.

There is one disappointment though...the midterm exams.  I was not happy with the results of the students' midterm exam grades.  These grades were not averaged into the 2nd Quarter.  The midterm exams are 10% of their final averages in June.  I warned the students that they need to bring up their grades for the next two quarters and their final exams.

I sent a letter home for some parents to meet with me in regards to their child's academic progress.  Please send back the tear-off or email me to set up an appointment.  It's imperative that we meet.  The school year is halfway done and I want to ensure that your child brings up his/her grades.  Retention and summer school may be a possibility for some students.

If you did not receive your child's report card due to finances, please see Mrs. Gwin as soon as possible.
