Dear Middle School Families,
Can you believe we are almost halfway through this wild 20/21 school year? The end of the semester, January 25, is fast approaching! This means that we get to post grades to let you know how your child is performing in school. Best of all, we plan to extend to two-days a week of in-person instruction with the new semester.
Finish Projects First
Our grading system focuses heavily on Projects (day-to-day work built around checkpoints) and lighter on Power Focus Areas (assessments of knowledge). Projects contribute 80% towards the overall grade, while Power Focus assignments weigh in at 20%. Please check your student's progress at Summitlearning.org to see how they are doing. If you have any questions, be sure to give us a call. Setting small daily goals and working towards accomplishing them will help your child achieve success. Please encourage your students to finish the semester strong by making sure all projects are completed.
Google classroom
All Middle School teachers have set up a Google Classroom, a digital classroom where teachers post daily videos and resources for students. These items will remain in Google Classroom for the entire year, so your child can go back at anytime to get a little extra help. Your child can also communicate with their teacher via the Google Classroom.
Two-Day a Week
Please plan on having your students attend two days a week starting January 25. Group A will attend Monday and Tuesday, and Group B will attend Thursday and Friday.
If you need any assistance, please be sure to call the middle school workroom at 258.4725 to get additional support!
We look forward to seeing our students wrap up this semester by finishing strong!!
Sincerely,
The Middle School Team.
WE CARE
