Happy long weekend!! We have been back 2 weeks and things will be pacing up in Biology. Please note that I am putting notes in your Parent and student view on assignments that are 'not in" I am scoring them as a zero until I see something to grade. Please do not simply open the grade book and see "0 missing assignments" as a zero is considered a score. I have time before school, during lunch or after school to help and have students come in to finish work. Right now the students that are not performing well are the same students I consistently see off task: talking, texting on phones, playing games on chrome books. While I do my best to re- direct efforts, with classes of 33+ students it is difficult to police that and attend to questions and lab related activities. Please help at home by checking in on your child's progress and the importance of staying on top of tasks and becoming more self- reliant. If you haven't yet, please get your student some pencils and set reasonable bedtimes even in high school. Staying up until 2am texting or gaming and then getting up at 6:30 does not promote healthy lifestyles or good mental alertness at school.
Thank you for your time and enjoy the long weekend. see you all Tuesday!
