How is my child's grade determined in science class?
How is my child's grade determined in science class?
Hello Parents and Guardians of students in our science classes!
I host our daily classes in google meets. I post the link before class every day on our google classroom.
Your child's grade is 50% attendance and 50% work. If your child attends class every day but does not submit any work, they will have a 50% (F). Or, if your child submits all their work but does not attend live class, they will also have a 50%(F).
If you want to see your child's current grade in our class, check Infinite Campus or ask your child to show you their grade page in our google classroom.

What materials do students need for science class?
What materials do students need for science class?
To succeed in our science class, your student will need to have the following materials:
1.A laptop or computer that can connect to the internet and connect to video conferences. A cell phone or tablet is NOT sufficient.
1.A laptop or computer that can connect to the internet and connect to video conferences. A cell phone or tablet is NOT sufficient.
If you do not have such a computer, it is your students' right to have access to a school provided laptop, free of charge. I would be happy to help you in obtaining this necessary resource that will ensure your students' success. I will not penalize any student for not having this device if this process takes longer than the first two weeks, as long as they are actively communicating with me / Tennyson to get this device.
2. A notebook that is AT LEAST 9.75 x 7.5 inches in size, with AT LEAST 80 pages. College ruled is recommended.

A notebook larger than this size, or with more pages, is totally fine. I was able to find a composition notebook meeting these requirements at Walmart for 50 cents. If money is an issue right now, please contact me and we can get you the supplies you need. Your student has the right to have access to the materials they need to learn.
3. A set of colored pencils with AT LEAST 8 different colors.

I have colored pencils for all of my Earth science Students- but they need to come get them!

Communicating with Ms. Watson
My intention as your student's teacher is to create a safe, inclusive learning space for students regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, economic status, or immigration status. If you or your student feel that I have done something to violate this safe space, please do not hesitate to communicate your concerns with me- I appreciate the opportunity to reflect on my words and actions and make changes as necessary. If you do not feel comfortable raising the issue with me personally, I understand-- but I still encourage you to reach out to a staff member at Tennyson who you trust so that this information can be communicated with me. I want to "do right" by all of our Tennyson families and I am grateful for your communication.
Please understand that I am on your team- we all want success for our students. I am just one teacher, and I do not have control over our school schedule, policies, or how Tennyson or HUSD communicate information with you. I appreciate your patience and compassion as we navigate this year together.
