Dear Parents,
Mrs. Longval and I have discovered that some students have not been seeing their grades for quite a while after they have been posted. The purpose of grades every three weeks is give students a fast turn around time if there are any difficulties. . Parents have ample opportunity to consult with a teacher if there is a question about grading, missing assignments or the need for more help. This is one part of the PDE philosophy that is non negotiable.
Students will receive a hard copy of their grades this marking period only. We plan to use them for teaching our study skills curriculum.
PARENT CONFERENCES: If you have not had a parent conference yet the times to sign up are every day after school at 2:45 PM or Thursday evening by appointment. I have had a great time reviewing students personal learning strategies with parents. paulsontag@comcast.net It appears to be a very helpful time for student, teacher and parent. It certainly helps to get us on the same page and answer any questions that parents have concerning what happens on MWF.
Serving Him Joyfully,
Paul Sontag
