Weekly Update + iGradePlus

Welcome Back from Thanksgiving Break!! We have four very busy weeks until Winter Break. Here's what's coming during the next four weeks:

• Writing Performance Task (Topic: The Effect of Pesticides; Due by December 2)

• Math Performance Task (Due by December 6)

• NWEA Winter MAP: ELA and Math Assessment (Due by December 16)

• Writing Workshop Informational Textbook Unit

• Begin Science Fair Project

As you can see there is a lot going on before Winter Break. I also want to encourage both parents and students to check grades on a regular basis on iGradePlus. It is the student's responsibility to know what his/her grades are and to request any retests, or make up any missing assignments. We are now back to the traditional letter grading system. So, what you see on iGradePlus now reflects the current status of a report card grade per subject.
