As teacher and parents, we work together to support your child in their success in Living Environment. For students needing a bit of extra support I recommend the following:
Your child should attend extra help at least once a week. I am always in my classroom on Mondays and Wednesday from 2:15-3:10. Depending on their schedules, we can arrange a time for extra help that will work for both of us. I am happy to meet with students during 5th, 8th or 9th periods or after school daily (they should see me to schedule a time) . If a student is struggling, attending extra help is a necessity to stay on track and get needed reinforcement. I will address the issue with your child and please encourage them to attend.
Check your child's Powerschool weekly. If there are missing assignments, encourage them to hand them in. Late work is much better than a zero.
Please recognize that not handing in Labs will dramatically affect your child's grade and their ability to qualify to take the Regents exam. Student will NOT be permitted to take the Regents exam without 1200 minutes of lab work. They also comprise a large portion of the final grade. Next to exams, Labs are the biggest contributor to their average. If you see missing Labs on your child's Powerschool, please encourage them to hand it in. If they need to repeat the actual lab work, have them speak to me at once to schedule a make up.
Wondering if your child has homework? All assignments are posted daily in Google Classroom. Parents may check Google Classroom through their child's account nightly to see what the homework assignment is. If you would prefer to gain access on your own, just drop me an e-mail to goblerd@whbschools.org or call me at the 288-3800 and I will provide you with the credentials to log in.
To reinforce concepts learned in the classroom, students and parents may access all notes in Google Classroom under "CLASS NOTES". These are the Google Slides Presentations that we walk through together with the key points of the Unit. These can be reviewed at home for increased comprehension and recall.
Occasionally I will send out reminders for Special Extra Help Sessions and other important information using a texting app called REMIND. All students have been asked to sign up. If you would also like to receive those messages, simply text 'lewhb' to 81010.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any concerns.
