End of 1st Quarter

Today marked the end of the first quarter.  This is an important point for you to pause and reflect.  Remember, quarter grades are not included on your transcript - just semester grades. But this means that you have reached the half-way point in earning the grades that will be on your transcript. 

Some of the questions you should ask yourself include: Are you where you want to be?  If you are not, what do you need to do different to turn things around?  If you need ideas for how you can improve your grades, I strongly encourage you to meet individually with your teacher.  You should also take advantage of the help available from the academic assistants in the Resource room.  You are also welcome to stop by and talk to me and we can try to brainstorm some ideas to help.  If you are happy with your current progress, congratulations!  Make sure you think about what you have done that has been helpful to your success and continue to put forward those same actions.

Also, a reminder to you and your parents/guardians - report cards are not printed and sent home - you will be able to access your report cards on Progress Book next Wednesday.

We have also started to fill in our time slots for Parent-Teacher conferences. The conferences are Monday, November 19th (4:00 pm - 8:00 pm) and  Tuesday, November 20th (8:00 am - 6:00 pm). You can call Mrs. Yearling at extension 2126 to set up your appointment. Remember, we encourage the students to come with the parents/guardians.
