There is no attendance data for last week as we just returned from winter break. While there are no updates regarding performance, but there are some updates regarding incentives and strategies. Currently, the freshman attendance team is considering options for incentives. In the past we’ve ran incentives like: Wildcat bucks, cereal party, movies/gym access on Friday. As we’re considering incentive options, I believe it is incredibly important to solicit and receive parental and community input!!! Please submit ideas you’d like for us to consider. You can email me directly at jholmes27@cps.edu

Happy new year everyone!!!

What is happening in the classroom?

My name is Angelique James, and I am enrolled in English I with teachers Ms. Redman and Ms. Ziemniak. I’ve had so much fun in class this year. We just finished the book entitled, American Street, which I loved! The book is about a young girl who was living with her mom at her aunt’s house. The story focuses on big decisions she had to face throughout the book. I don’t want to spoil the book in case anybody is interested in reading it, but I loved how I could relate to many of the decisions the young girl had to make. Being in Ms. Redman and Ms. Ziemniak’s class is great because they understand us. When we needed more time to complete assignments, they are always willing to work with us. They are both very patient and are always willing to help us out. But what I love the most about English class is the class discussions, they really make us think, and help us arrive at our own conclusions.

Welcome back, juniors! Your teachers have missed you over break and were thrilled to see your faces (or avatars) this Monday. With winter break behind us, the end of the semester is coming up quickly. We shared this prior to break but in case you need some help reaching out to teachers and communicating what kind of supports you need, feel free to use the template provided below in an email.

Subject: Improving my grade
|
Hi Mr./Ms. _____________________ , (add your teacher’s name).
|
Before the semester ends, I wanted to reach out about my grade, which is currently _____% (insert your grade here) and see if there was anything I can do to improve it. I looked in Aspen and saw that I am missing ________________________ (fill this part in with whatever assignments you are missing!). Can I make this assignment up or is it better to focus on a different assignment?
|
Please let me know what I can do. I appreciate it!
|
_______________ (your name)
|
Feel free to edit this as you need to but this is one way to communicate with your teachers if you need some help reaching out and asking for support.
|
Additionally, if you want to figure out assignments you are missing and how you can prioritize work time, this video reviews how to check missing assignments in Google Classroom! Use this as a resource to plan your free time and make sure your grade is a strong representation of your skills!
|
Finally, thank you to everyone who filled out the SAT tutoring survey. More info and plans coming soon to support your success on the SAT!
