Learning Target assignments = 80% of your grade
Habits of Work = 20%
You will have Habit of Work grades AND assessments, like pre-COVID days.
You will organize your work on your OneDrive account. (Don't worry, we are going to set everything up with you!)
All students still need a Google account for school this year. Pear Deck, via Google Slides, is an interactive instructional tool that teachers will be using to engage all students in the lesson, to monitor student participation, and to check for understanding. In order to facilitate this, we are requiring that all students create a Gmail account with their proper first name and last name. It is recommended that their password be the same as their SPS password, SP and their day of birth (SpMMDDYY). This program will also ensure that students have access to the lesson notes when absent, or if they need to refer back to a particular lesson.
If you have any concerns, please reach out to your grade level administrator.
