Time to get back to business. As we discussed on Friday, please remember to keep your gradebooks current. Parents should not be surprised with they see the report card and students need time for retakes. You should also be keeping current with ATL grades. One thing I did forget to mention about grades... There are numerous Ms and As, particularly in middle school gradebooks. They should only stay for a very short period of time and then be replaced with a zero, grade, or E. We also discussed that there would be very few, if any, instances when we would use P for pending. Lastly, make sure there are no blank grades. February 14 is the final day of the trimester and grades will be due 8 a.m. on February 19. Gina will send out instructions for grades, ATLs, Conduct, comments, what to look for, etc. Since Feb. 18 is a holiday, we will have two days to review grades. I will be out that Thursday so it is super important that they are correct the first time.
We will be having classroom visits on Tuesday for PreK and Kindergarten only. There will be two sessions 9-10 and 10-11. Parents and their children will be in the classrooms from approximately 9:15 to 9:45 and 10:15 to 10:45. They will meet with Nicki, Gina and I before and after these sessions. These are the grades with the lowest enrollments right now (which is typical) so we want to put on our best face. To give you all an update on enrollment, next year we will combine the two 2nd grade classes into one 3rd grade and we will only have one kindergarten. Right now it looks like we will have two 1st and two 2nd grades. I will update if anything changes.
