Keeping Track of Grades

Just a reminder that your child has been keeping track of their English/Language Arts grades all trimester.  At any time, you can ask them what their grades are and they will be able to calculate their grades for you.

Some of your children will be bringing home the open-ended response portion of their reading test from today.  We've been practicing using information from the text and referencing the text all year and some students still are not doing so.  This week they have been given the opportunity to fix their responses in order to raise their grade.  Please encourage them to take advantage of this opportunity.

Thanks!
Mindy :)
