Good afternoon! This week's update is going to be a short one since I'm not running at 100% today. Mrs. Lee has been out sick the past two days and I think I might have the beginning of whatever she caught, but I'm also just exhausted from running around the room all day mostly on my own. She did have a sub for today, but since he wasn't familiar enough with the material, we couldn't really share the load.
As previously mentioned in last week's update, the kids had the quiz yesterday. I'm still finding that the kids are struggling with test taking at the middle level, so I unsubmitted all the first attempts and we had a chat before we tried again today. Scores have improved, though some students are still working to finish their first attempt as they're taking more time on top of having the class time cut into with school pictures taking place during math classes. They'll get time to finish on Monday, but I caution parents when checking grades on ParentVUE as those are not currently the most accurate. I had noticed that there seemed to be a glitch for some of the students grades not loading for an earlier assignment and the only fix ("remastering" the gradebook) automatically sent all the grades, not just that one. To see the most accurate current grade, please look on Canvas until Monday afternoon. If you haven't already set yourself up as an observer for your child, you can get additional information here from the county, but you can also ask your child to login and show you their grades.
Well, that's about all I have the energy for right now, but please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
