Attention 7th Grade Students and Parents:

      All Science INB's have been collected. I have marked all assignments as completed that are currently being scored. In doing so, you will see several red boxes, and the grades will appear to be missing and recorded as F's. By doing so, it allows me to find and score assignments much quicker. As these assignments are scored, the grades will go back up or higher than they were earlier today. Please check the portal again as soon as your child receives their INB back. Only then, will the grade be correct. Once the grades have been updated, I assure you that your child will be given time to make up any missing assignments over the Memorial Day Holiday and turn them into me by Friday, May 31st at the latest.  Thank you for you patience and understanding in this matter. Ms. Cordes

Grades are incorrect for all 8th graders (periods 3, 4, & 7).  Once your grade has been updated, you will see the number "1" recorded for the "INB Check" grade. Until then, you will see many red boxes as I work through the grading of the assignments.

 

Thank you for your patience and understanding. It is my hope to have them returned by Friday.

 The Last Day to Turn In any work is:

       Wednesday, December 5 @ 12 noon.

 

No Work will be accepted after 12 noon on Wed. Dec. 5th.

I will either mark it as an incomplete (60% = D-), give it an F (if less than 2/3 of the report was completed, or stamp it so that I can read through the completed lab reports on Monday when I collect the composition books since you'll need it for your earthworm dissection tomorrow.
