Picture Day at Scott Middle School will be Sept. 1. If students are interested in buying pictures, they should bring the packets with the money on that day. Every student will have their picture taken to be included in the yearbook. Be ready to give us your best smile!
Today was the Unit 1, Week 2 test, and things did not go as well as we would hope. The AM class had many problems with repeating questions, pages not loading, answers not showing up, etc. Fortunately, the problems seemed to be fixed by the time the PM class tested. Some students were frustrated and felt their score was affected by these problems. Because of this, I have given these students the option of retesting on Monday. If your child wants to retest, they may. If you and your child feel their score was acceptable, they will not have to retake the test.
Please encourage your child to keep a positive attitude. The Chromebooks are a wonderful tool! But with this large implementation, there seems to be some growing pains. Be assured the district is working hard to correct these problems! We all know problems can arise, so your child will never be “in trouble” if the computer or internet is not working correctly. Let us know and we will contact the right people to fix the problems.
The first literature groups went very well. Our next literature group will be Sept 3. The Cay needs to have the book completed. The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle should be ready to discuss chapters 1-15. Students should bring their Thinkmark to literature groups. The Thinkmark needs to be filled out in complete sentences with their reaction to events in the story. Don’t forget that sentences always start with a capital letter and end with punctuation!
Parent/Teacher conferences are September 10 and 15 from 3:30 to 6:30. Hope to see you then!
