April Newsletter and an Important Note About Grades

Hello All,


The April Newlsetter is now available. I plan to send it home with students later this week, but the online version is available now.


A note about grades:



We have recently had two major assignments that I entered into the online gradebook (which you can access through the parent portal).   These assignments did not represent many students’ best work, but they nevertheless important.  These two assignments have negatively impacted many students’ grades.  I would like to assure all of you that the students still have several weeks and many, many more assignments to go.  These large assignments came in the first part of the trimester and did not have much to balance them.  I am working to give students additional credit that can bring their grades up to a level that truly reflects their skills and abilities. Please have patience with your students (and with me), as we work to add more points to students’ totals.

Thank you,

Mrs. Knutson
