Getting ready for second grade:
In order to get everyone ready for second grade you will begin seeing number grades on assignment. I will begin entering them into the database and the students will receive an average for each class/subject.  We will continue the evaluations and add number grades.  If you log in to the database you will have to scroll down  by subject to see the assignments.  If your child makes an unsatisfactory score on an assignment they can correct it and return it with a parent signature and I will change the grade. Students will receive a 0 for missing work.  I feel that this is an important step in helping the students take ownership and understand the responsibility needed to be successful in second grade.

Thank you so much for all of your support!
