● 2nd Honors = All A’s and B’s (Nothing lower than 80%)
Viewing Grades:
Grades can be checked on Sycamore. This allows you to track your child's progress and stay updated on their performance. I will send a message on ClassDojo once I begin inputting grades. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child's grades.
Below 80%:
If your child scores below 80% on a test or assignment, they will have the opportunity to retake it.
First and Second Quarter:
Students will be asked if they want to retake the test/assignment.
You will be notified if your child decides not to retake it.
Third and Fourth Quarter:
Students will need to approach the teacher on their own if they want to retake their test/assignment. This encourages more responsibility and independence.
Stay Informed: Check Sycamore regularly to stay updated on your child’s performance. If your child is struggling, it’s important to catch it early so they have time to retake or redo any assignments. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child's grades.
Encourage Accountability: Help your child understand the importance of taking responsibility for their learning.
