Wednesday, 12.17.25

    Hello amazing students! This semester has been one full of so many emotions and has asked so much of you. Now as the semester draws to a close, another test of your resilience arises. 

     The school closure today changes how the semester exam will be run. If you are happy with your grade in my class where it is right now, you are exempt from taking the exam including the Unit 6 portion. Your grade will stay where it is. However, if you would like to take the test to try to raise your average, you can do so on Thursday. 

    You will get more information later today from the school about Thursday's schedule and how to sign up for what classes you will take tests in. You will not go to all of your classes on Thursday.

   If you do take my semester exam, it will still be graded the way I originally planned it: one portion will be the Unit 6 Test and the entire test will count as the semester final exam. If your semester grade goes up due to taking the exam, you will get the new grade. If it goes down, you will retain your previous grade.

   If you have any questions, please email me at thfuller@jeffco.k12.co.us. If I don't see you before the break, please enjoy the holidays and I look forward to seeing you next semester! For the rest of you, see you in class on Thursday!

Thursday, 12.18.25

  Hello again. The district has cancelled classes for today. This also means that finals have been cancelled for the semester. Your grade will be posted as is. However, if you were counting on the semester exam/unit test to pull your grade up, an opportunity of some sort will be offered next semester. What that will look like is not clear yet. If you are happy with where your grade landed or if the finals would not have affected your grade, there is nothing more for you to do. Have a fantastic break and I'll see you in January!
